Ardroy Outdoor Education Centre is a multi-activity residential facility situated in Lochgoilhead, Scotland. The centre has been in operation since 1969, and can accommodate over 70 people. We run school, youth and adult courses, also open courses, available to anyone.

Most attendees are children from Fife Council schools, but we also work with other local authorities across Scotland, and elsewhere in the UK. Youth groups, colleges, charities, and businesses use our services too. We also work with adult groups, whether for leisure or learning. Our activities can be used to achieve a range of learning outcomes, in particular those set out for school pupils in the Curriculum for Excellence.

Please see the about us menu for more information about our ethos, safety and quality standards, staffing, and how to find us.

This is an audio slide show we put together to try and explain our approach to Outdoor Learning, and the long term impact it has on our clients.
