Big Days Out! (29 Jun - 03 Jul)
For ages 8-12
Step into the Wild...
Big Days Out! is a five-day, screen-free outdoor experience for children aged 8–12, designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and reconnect young people with the world beyond the city. Led by Mrs Milne from the Junior School and Mr O’Neil, an English and Philosophy Senior School teacher, this exciting week combines adventure, exploration, and thoughtful conversation in some of Scotland’s most beautiful settings.
From beach-combing on the Isle of Bute and wildlife spotting on Arran to rewilding around Loch Lomond and discovering the rich culture and history of the Clyde Valley, each day offers a new opportunity to learn, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. With games, team challenges, simple conservation activities, mindful discussion, and plenty of fresh air, children will develop independence, teamwork, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world — all while having fun, making friends, and creating lasting memories.
