Àban - Adventure Learning Community

Àban is a registered Scottish charity and a thriving social enterprise. We help get you out on positive adventures right on your doorstep. When you book an activity with us, every penny raised goes to support our charitable work in Inverness.

We offer positive outdoor adventures for young people and families in need. Our doors are open to all without the need to book online, and no previous experience is required.

We run Scotland's only independent DofE Open Award group, an outdoor club for Young Carers and outdoor sessions for local youth clubs. Alongside these programmes is our new for 2023 Kessock Ferry Swim Academy, which is a free-of-charge project for pupils from Inverness High School. They'll receive tuition from an experienced coach who will provide them with a structured swim programme to help prepare these local youngsters for our Kessock Ferry Swim.

As well as our charity projects, we offer a range of commercial activities, running alongside and supporting our charitable work. These activities follow the same core principle of positive local adventures. Made up of the Kessock Ferry Swim, Spring Rock Camps, and School Holiday Camps, these activities cover a spectrum of interests and ability levels
