Our continued partnership with Ardroy Outdoor Education Centre offers our young women the chance to get back to nature and take part in outdoor activities. On this day trip, they got the chance to head out on canoes and explore the expanse of Lochgoil before lacing up their hiking boots for a trail walk into the woods. Here they learnt to hone their fire making skills and enjoy toasted marshmallows and cinnamon apples. The activities were fun and created a natural sense of connection amongst the group. They also offered small challenges to the young women, inviting them to step out of their comfort zones in order to help build their sense of confidence and window of tolerance. Being out in nature has shown to improve mental health and wellbeing. Working with Ardroy gives us the opportunity to encourage the young women to step into nature more, meaning they can slow down and feel more present in their daily lives.
