CAYAG Adventure Seekers
2025-02-06 • 1 comment • • Coupar Angus, Meigle & Alyth
The CAYAG Adventure Seekers project aims to get more young people outdoors and being active. There is evidence that suggests young people being outdoors can improve their physical and mental wellbeing, support social skills and academic performance. Spending time outdoors can reduce feelings of stress and anger, and boost self-confidence and self-esteem by allowing young people to take risks in a safe space. In Coupar Angus and surrounding areas we are very lucky as there are so many great spaces we can explore and utilise.
We would start the project in May and end in October with every second Saturday having a different activity on offer. Each activity will be facilitated by skilled staff, which CAYAG staff and volunteers will support. Activities will include, adventure tubing, archery, gorge walking, mountaineering, paddle sports, clip n climb, mini highland games and more! We would be tailoring the activities to the young people's needs and abilities and set the programme with their input. There would also be the opportunity to gain awards and certificates in paddle sports, mountaineering, map reading etc. We would end the project with a residential to celebrate everyones achievements and also to deliver training oppotunities in outdoor first aid and Dynamic Youth Awards.
All activities would be open to the young people of Coupar Angus and surrounding areas, whether they are a member of CAYAG or not and will be free of charge. We are looking to boost engagement with the young people in the town and hope this project will encourage more young people to attend CAYAG. There would be free refreshments offered at each session with lunches provided for full day activities. Transport will also be available at no extra cost to the participant.
We will be working in partnership with local businesses, youth work partners and youth scotland to create a varied programme with something for everyone.

The Crieff Film Festival Youth Workshops, scheduled for 9-10 August 2025, cater to young people aged 5 to 16 years and are designed to engage them in the art and craft of film production. This initiative is a collaboration with local organisations , which provide ideal locations for hosting the workshops. Experienced industry professionals will guide the participants through various aspects of filmmaking, including cinematography, editing, and scriptwriting.
The workshops aim to educate and inspire participants by offering hands-on experiences that could ignite a lasting interest in the film industry. The programme also incorporates a competitive element, challenging the young filmmakers to apply their newly acquired skills in a practical and creative setting.
This collaborative effort with local arts organisations and educational institutions is intended to foster a community spirit and provide a supportive environment for learning. It offers a unique opportunity for children and young people in Crieff to explore creative careers, develop new skills, and gain confidence in their abilities, thereby enriching our local cultural landscape and supporting the development of future talent in the film industry.
Our goal is to not only provide a creative outlet but also to foster a deeper appreciation for the arts and potentially spark future careers in the film industry. These workshops promise to be engaging, educational, and most importantly, fun for all involved
