Challenge and Discover is our free, twelve week, outdoor-based personal development programme for people aged 16-30 who live in Edinburgh. The Programme is for anyone who is facing challenges in their life and looking for support to make positive changes to their wellbeing and feel hope for their future.

The programme runs 2 days each week with a full day and a half day, including a weekly outdoor activity such as hillwalking or climbing, and a weekly discussion based session. In addition you will be supported through one-to-one sessions and take part in two residentials, one lasting three days and one five days, staying in bothies (simple cottages) in the Scottish Borders and Highlands.

Before starting the programme you will meet our Outreach Worker and Outdoor Programme Leader to prepare for the course and help any first day nerves! All of our activities are ‘challenge by choice’, which means that as long as you are willing to participate in some way, you can get involved.
