Explore the Wild, discover yourself
Y-Explore is where adventure meets self-discovery. From canyoning and canoeing to micro-adventures and wilderness therapy, we deliver adrenaline fuelled experiences that challenge young people to push limits and think differently. Based at the gateway to the Highlands and AALA licensed, our expert team leads tailored activity days and residentials that build grit, confidence, and connection. It’s not just about exploring wild terrain—it’s about unlocking potential, sparking growth, and proving to yourself what you’re truly capable of.
Canoeing and Paddle Boarding
New Skills, New Confidence
At YMCA Tayside, we believe that learning new skills can transform a young person’s outlook. Whether it’s mastering the art of canoeing or paddle boarding, safely sparking a fire for marshmallows, or tackling challenges out in the hills, every achievement builds confidence and resilience. These experiences show that learning isn’t just about classrooms—it can be fun, adventurous, and empowering. By discovering new abilities, young people gain the motivation and drive to keep exploring, growing, and believing in themselves.
