Activity Days’ / Short Respite Activity Breaks

Trekking Encounters and S-Team Challenge offers a range of outdoor experiences such as hill walking, mountaineering, climbing, orienteering, camping and other outdoor activities. Our objective is to build on and increase the social skills, self-belief, confidence and self-esteem that will enable our participants to integrate into society more effectively.

All of our activities take place in Scotland. We are based in Perthshire where many of our activities are carried out but we also do venture into more remote wilderness areas of Scotland.

We operate all year round offering:

• A half day activity Break (Min 4 hours)
• A one day Activity Break (Approx. 8 hours)
• A two day Activity Break
• A three day Activity Break
• A four day Activity Break
• A five day Activity Break

Note:
Participants can decide on only one activity or we can provide a combination of activities for each day.

Our Outdoor Experiences include:

• Hill walking
