These hands-on days have been developed through years of working with, and learning from, families. We’re thrilled to get consistently positive feedback from parents – and most importantly kids - that ‘we’ve had the best day EVER!’
Not only will your kids (and you) have a lot of laughs, try some things you’d never imagined doing – or eating – you’ll learn stuff too (maybe don’t tell the kids that bit). Plus, with the kids engrossed in fire lighting, and foraging, you’ll have time to take in the stunning surroundings, incredible and diverse wildlife and watch them experiencing many things for the first time.
Your patient guide has ‘the knack’ of sharing his vast skills and years of knowledge and experience in a way that kids (and grown-ups) find fascinating, whether it’s walking in the footsteps of our ancesters or tackling the Viking invaders, Mitchell brings the stories in the landscape to life.
Through the glen and across the croft you’ll forage for plants, herbs and berries, while keeping your eyes peeled for eagles, deer and rare plants while collecting firewood. Down at the shore you’ll set up a mini camp, seek out edible seaweeds and shellfish to cook on the campfire you’ve built, while keeping watch for the elusive otter and occasional seal. for slightly bigger kids over the age of 10 then they may also want to try fly-fishing.
Every family is differnt, and your children may have polar intrests. Experience has taught us that no two family adventures are the same. We will try to build you a bespoke family day. Let us know what you want to do and we can make a plan. Rates will vary on activity and duration.
