Cuairt Campachaidh ann an Uibhist | Uist Hillwalking Expedition ⛰️☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Trobhad còmhla ri Spòrs Gàidhlig air cuairt iongantach agus spòrsail, a’ coiseachd agus a’ campachadh ann an Uibhist!
Thairis air dà latha agus oidhche, gabhaidh sinn sgrìob tro sgìre gharbh nam beann air taobh an ear an eilein, far nach eil daoine idir a’ fuireach san latha an-diugh. Mar sgioba, bheir sinn leinn gach nì a bhios a dhìth oirnn airson campachadh, còcaireachd agus coiseachd a-muigh anns na monaidhean. ’S e sàr-chothrom a bhios an seo sgilean ùra ionnsachadh agus eòlas fhaighinn den tìr agus mar as urra dhuinn tlachd a ghbahail àiste. Chì sinn seallaidhean mìorbhaileach agus coileanaidh sinn dùbhlan mar sgioba.
Thig a’ bhuidheann ri chèile aig Talla an Ìochdair aig 10:00, far an ullaich sinn na bhios a dhìth oirnn airson an turais. An uairsin falbhaidh sinn ann am bus Spòrs Gàidhlig gu toiseach na cuairt againn, agus thèid sinn a-mach gu na monaidhean fad dà latha. Bidh an t-slighe againn a-rèir na h-aimsir agus comasan is miann na buidhne, ach bidh cothrom againn air na beanntan a dhìreadh, no cuairt a ghabhail timcheall air a’ chosta. Aig deireadh na cuairt, tillidh sinn chun an Ìochdair anns a’ bhus agus bidh a h-uile duine deiseil falbh dhachaigh aig 13:30.
Bheir an turas a tha seo cothrom air leth air fèin-leasachadh don òigridh a bhios an sàs. Bidh dleastanas aig gach neach iad fhèin a ghiùlan ann an dòigh èifeachdach agus airson ghnìomhan a leithid còcaireachd agus cur an-àirde teanta a dhèanamh dhaibh fhèin, mar phàirt de sgioba agus fo stiùir iùilichean Spòrs Gàidhlig.
’S ann tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig a bhios a’ chuairt a tha seo, agus gheibh a h-uile duine a bhios an lathair fìor bhogadh sa chànan. Leis a sin, bidh uallach air gach com-pàirtiche oidhirp a dhèanamh gus àrainneachd Ghàidhlig a chumail an-àirde.
Fosgailte gu S1-4.

Join Spòrs Gàidhlig for an exciting hillwalking and camping trip in Uist!
Over two days and one night, we will embark on an epic journey through the wild and uninhabited east coast of the island. The trip will be an amazing opportunity to learn new skills and build confidence as part of a group. We will wild camp and carry everything we need to be self-sufficient, camping, cooking and moving through the island environment. Every part of the trip will happen in Gaelic, and under the guidance of Spòrs Gàidhlig’s experienced instructors.
The group will meet at Ìochdar Hall on at 10:00 on Wednesday 9th April. We will prepare equipment, pack our bags and depart in Spòrs Gàidhlig’s minibus to the start of our expedition. We will then spend 2 days on a spectacular walking and camping adventure. On Thursday 10th April we will return in the bus to Ìochdar and be finished by 13:30.

Gàidhlig
This is a trip for fluent Gaelic speakers. It is on multi-day trips such as these that we see the greatest impact with regards to participants’ confidence in using Gaelic socially, and their esteem for the language. We create a fully-immersive Gaelic environment, which requires the involvement of the entire party to succeed. Every participant must understand therefore that they have a reponsibility to uphold this environment and make every effort to use Gaelic.
How difficult will the trip be?
This trip is for fluent Gaelic speakers in S1-4 who enjoy spending time in the outdoors and have a basic level of fitness.
Participants should expect to be tired at the end of each day. A multi-day journey like this requires effort to complete, both while travelling and in evening tasks relating to setting up camp, preparing food and dealing with potentially inclement weather. We will be moving in rough terrain while carrying everything we need to look after ourselves, including sleeping bags, tents and stoves.
What safety precautions do you take?
Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors are highly experienced and are formally qualified to the appropriate level to be delivering these activities. In this case, the lead instructor holds the Summer Mountain Leader award and a valid outdoor first aid certificate.
Each instructor carries a first-aid kit, and where appropriate, a walkie talkie/radio for communication within the group. They will also have a mobile phone which can be used where coverage allows.
Trips are flexible. Routes can be amended to adapt to Scotland’s highly changeable weather and instructors’ judgement of the group’s capabilities. The priority is always getting everyone back safely, even if that means not fulfilling an objective. If this happens, it is often a more valuable learning experience than an easy success!

Will you explain how equipment is used?
Both for safety and participants’ enjoyment of the trip, full briefings will be given on all equipment. Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors will ensure that everyone knows how to safely use their stove, and use of these will be monitored. Help will be provided with setting up tents where this is required, and throughout the trip participants will learn how to effectively look after themselves in mountainous environments.
What equipment do you provide?

Dry bags
Tent
Sleeping bag
Basic roll-up camping mat
Camping stoves and fuel
Food for each day’s meals. (Participants should bring any additional snacks they might want)
We have a selection of waterproof jackets and trousers for participant use

A full kit list will be provided upon signing up to the trip.
An online briefing meeting will be arranged for participants and parents approximately 3 weeks before the trip takes place.
Open to Gaelic-speaking teenagers in P7-S4.
Spòrs Gàidhlig reserves the right to refuse a place on this trip to anyone they do not feel meets the required level of skill, fitness or commitment to maintaining the Gaelic environment within the group.

Thairis air sia làithean, gabhaidh sinn sgrìob iongantach air chois thar bheanntan, mhonaidhean agus glinn gus cuairt mhòr adhartach a choileanadh. Leasachaidh sinn ar sgilean beinne agus togaidh sinn misneachd phearsanta le a bhith an sàs ann an dùbhlan mòr mar bhall de sgioba. Campachaidh sinn fad còig oidhcheannan agus gluaisidh sinn tro àrainneachd nam beann agus sinn a’ giùlan gach nì a bhios a dhìth oirnn. Ruigidh sinn mullaich àrda agus gheibh sinn seallaidhean riochdail den Ghàidhealtachd nach fhaighear ach le beagan spàirn!
Thig a’ bhuidheann còmhla anns a’ Ghearasdan aig 11:30 air madainn Diluain 28mh. Cuiridh sinn an uairsin an uidheamachd againn air dòigh agus thèid sinn ann am bus Spòrs Gàidhlig gu toiseach na cuairt ann an Ceann Loch Shubhairne. Às a sin, gabhaidh sinn sgrìob aibheiseach tro sgìre cho garbh agus iomallach ’s a tha na tìr-mòr na h-Alba: Cnòideart.
Thig an turas gu ceann ann an Inbhir Aoidhe air an Dihaoine 1d Lùnastal. Gheibh sinn dìnnear mòr an sin air am bi sinn uile airidh, agus fuirichidh anns an làrach-campachaidh. Madainn Disathairne 2na Lùnastal, gabhaidh sinn an t-aiseag beag a Mhalaig agus mu dheireadh an trèana air ais dhan Ghearasdan airson 12:00.
Bheir an turas adhartach a tha seo cothrom air leth air fèin-leasachadh don òigridh a bhios an sàs. Bidh dleastanas aig gach neach iad fhèin a ghiùlan ann an dòigh èifeachdach agus airson ghnìomhan a leithid còcaireachd agus cur an-àirde teanta a dhèanamh dhaibh fhèin, mar phàirt de sgioba agus fo stiùir iùilichean Spòrs Gàidhlig.
A thuilleadh air a sin, bidh uallach air gach com-pàirtiche oidhirp a dhèanamh gus àrainneachd Ghàidhlig a chumail an-àirde. ‘S ann air na tursan mòra, diana seo a chì sinn an t-adhartas agus misneachadh as motha a thaobh Gàidhlig, ach cha tig sin mura bi a’ bhuidheann gu lèir deònach a’ Ghàidhlig a bhruidhinn.
Bidh am plana seo a-rèir na h-aimsir. Tha Spòrs Gàidhlig a’ glèidheil na còrach an t-slighe no an turas atharrachdainn mar a mheasas iad iomchaidh. Tha Spòrs Gàidhlig cuideachd a’ glèidheil na còrach neach sam bith
Fosgailte gu S3-6.

Join us on Spòrs Gàidhlig’s big summer mountain challenge 2024!
Over five days, between 28th July and 2nd August 2025 we will embark on an epic journey through the mountains, and glens of Knoydart, one of the most rugged and remote areas of the Highlands. We will learn mountain skills and build confidence by undertaking a real challenge as part of a group. We will camp for five nights and move through the mountainous environment carrying everything we need to be self-sufficient. High summits will be reached and we will get magnificent views of the Highland landscape only seen by those willing to put in a special effort.
The group will meet at 11:30 in Fort William on Monday 28th July. We will prepare equipment, pack our bags and depart in Spòrs Gàidhlig’s minibus to the start of our expedition at Kinlochhourn. We will then spend 5 days on a spectacular mountain walking and camping adventure. On Friday 1st August we will arrive in the most remote village in the UK: Inverie. Here we will get a well-deserved dinner and stay at the village campsite. In the morning of Saturday 2nd August we will take the small Knoydart Ferry to Mallaig and catch the train back to Fort William for lunchtime where the trip will end at 12:00.
This trip for competent young people will offer great opportunities for personal development. Each individual will have a responsibility to work effectively as part of the team and carry out tasks like cooking camp meals and putting up their tents under the guidance of Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors.

Gàidhlig
This is a trip for fluent Gaelic speakers. It is on multi-day trips such as these that we see the greatest impact with regards to participants’ confidence in using Gaelic socially, and their esteem for the language. We aim to create a fully-immersive Gaelic environment, which requires the involvement of the entire party to succeed. Every participant must understand therefore that they have a reponsibility to uphold this environment and make every effort to use Gaelic.
How difficult will the trip be?
This trip is suitable for active individuals in S3-6 who are prepared for a challenge in the outdoors.
Participants should expect to be tired at the end of each day. A multi-day journey like this requires concerted effort to complete, both while travelling and in evening tasks relating to setting up camp, preparing food and dealing with inclement weather. We will be moving in mountainous terrain while carrying everything we need to look after ourselves, including sleeping bags, tents and stoves.
We will aim to reach Munro summits, and the days will include significant elevation gain as weather allows.
The committing and challenging nature of this expedition means that it is not suitable for those who do not have a genuine interest in the activity. We would ask that participants understand the challenges that will be involved and, simply put, actually want to be there.
What safety precautions do you take?
Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors are highly experienced and are formally qualified to the appropriate level to be delivering these activities. In this case, they hold the Summer Mountain Leader award and a valid outdoor first aid certificate.
Each instructor carries a first-aid kit, and where appropriate, a walkie talkie/radio for communication within the group. They will also have a mobile phone which can be used where coverage allows, and a PLB in the group.
Trips are flexible. Routes can be amended to adapt to Scotland’s highly changeable weather and instructors’ judgement of the group’s capabilities. The priority is always getting everyone back safely, even if that means not fulfilling an objective. If this happens, it is often a more valuable learning experience than an easy success!

Will you explain how equipment is used?
Both for safety and participants’ enjoyment of the trip, full briefings will be given on all equipment. Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors will ensure that everyone knows how to safely use their stove, and use of these will be monitored. Help will be provided with setting up tents where this is required, and throughout the trip participants will learn how to effectively look after themselves in mountainous environments.
What equipment do you provide?

Dry bags
Tent
Sleeping bag
Foam camping mat
Camping stoves and fuel
Food for 3 meals each day. (Participants should bring any additional snacks they might want)

A full kit list will be provided upon signing up to the trip.
An online briefing meeting will be arranged for participants and parents approximately 3 weeks before the trip takes place.
Open to Gaelic-speaking teenagers who will be in S3-S6 after the summer holidays.
* The Highland Council Gaelic Team have provided funding to subsidise 6 places on this trip exclusively for young people from within the Highland Council area. These will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. *
Spòrs Gàidhlig reserves the right to refuse a place on this trip to anyone they do not feel meets the required level of skill, fitness or commitment to maintaining the Gaelic environment within the group.
This trip would qualify as a suitable practice expedition for the Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Campa nan Torran 2025 | S1-S4 | Multi-Activity Camp for S1-S4 | Torrin, Isle of Skye ⛰️☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
2025-10-20 - 2025-10-24 | Na Torran, Torrin Bunkhouse, Na Torran, Highland, IV49 9BA, United Kingdom
Thigibh còmhla ri sgioba Spòrs Gàidhlig airson campa air leth san Eilean Sgitheanach, a’ rùrach am measg beanntan agus uisgeachan an Eilein, uile tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig!
Fad còig lathaichean, eadar 20-24 Dàmhair 2025, gheibh sibh bogadh ceart ann an cànain, cultar agus cur-seachadan adhartach agus inntinneach, a thuilleadh air pailteas chothroman eòlas a chur air caraidean sean is ùr ann an àrainneachd shònraichte.
Gabhaidh sinn ris an aimsir a gheibh sinn air an t-seachdain, ach tha sinn an dùil gum bi claiseachd, bòrd-seasaimh, coiseachd nam beann, sreap agus cuairtean cultarail an lùib a’ phrògraim!
Coinnichidh sinn aig an àite-fuirich airson na seachdain feasgar Diluain 21mh Dàmhair, agus ’s e siud Taigh Bunca na Torran.

Faodaidh daoine ar coinneachadh ann an Inbhir Nis sa mhadainn agus siubhail còmhla rinn ann am bus Spòrs Gàidhlig, ma thogras iad.
Bheir an campa seo cothrom air leth air fèin-leasachadh don òigridh a bhios an sàs. Bidh aig gach neach a bhith deiseil dleastanas as ghabhail airson ghnìomhan a leithid còcaireachd, glanadh agus agus eile, mar phàirt de sgioba agus fo stiùir iùilichean Spòrs Gàidhlig.
Tha sinn ag amas air àrainneachd a tha gu tur Gàidhlig a chruthachadh aig na campaichean seo, far an cluinn agus cleachd an òigridh an cànan mar a bhuineas e ri beatha làitheil agus còmhradh neo-fhoirmeil. Bidh uallach air gach com-pàirtiche oidhirp a dhèanamh gus an àrainneachd ud a chumail an-àirde. ’S ann aig tachartasan nas fhaide mar seo a chì sinn an t-adhartas agus misneachadh as motha a thaobh Gàidhlig, ach cha tig sin mura bi a’ bhuidheann gu lèir deònach a’ Ghàidhlig a bhruidhinn.

Join Spòrs Gàidhlig for a camp full of fun and adventure in the Isle of Skye, exploring the island’s mountains, gorges and lochs with a action-packed programme – all through the medium of Gaelic!
Over five days, between 20-24th October 2025, participants will be fully immersed in adventurous activities, cultural exploration and the Gaelic language, as well getting to know friends new and old in an amazing environment.
We will have to adapt the programme to the autumnal weather, but we expect the week to feature paddleboarding, a mountain adventure, climbing, gorge scrambling, cultural excursions and more!
The camp will be based at Torrin Bunkhouse in Skye, where we will meet on the afternoon of Monday 21st October. Participants are welcome to meet us in Inverness in the morning and travel to Skye in Spòrs Gàidhlig’s minibus if they would prefer.
This camp for competent young people will offer great opportunities for personal development. Each individual will have a responsibility to work effectively as part of the team and carry out tasks like helping prepare for meals, cleaning up and being ready for the day’s tasks, under the guidance of Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors.

Gàidhlig
This is a camp for fluent Gaelic speakers. Spòrs Gàidhlig aim to create a complete a fully-immersive Gaelic environment, where young people can hear and use the language in informal settings and in novel environments. It is during multi-day events such as these that we see the greatest impact with regards to participants’ confidence in using Gaelic socially, and their esteem for the language, but for this to work requires the commitment of the entire party. Every participant must understand therefore that they have a reponsibility to uphold this environment and make every effort to use Gaelic.
How difficult will the camp’s activities be?
This trip is suitable for active individuals in S1-4 who are prepared for a challenge in the outdoors.
Participants should expect to be tired at the end of each day. A multi-day camp like this requires concerted effort to complete not only the day’s excursions but also evening tasks relating to preparing food, managing equipment and looking after our accommodation.
What safety precautions do you take?
Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors are highly experienced and are formally qualified to the appropriate level to be delivering these activities.
Each instructor carries a first-aid kit, and where appropriate, a walkie talkie/radio for communication within the group. They will also have a mobile phone which can be used where coverage allows.
Trips are flexible. Routes can be amended to adapt to Scotland’s highly changeable weather and instructors’ judgement of the group’s capabilities. The priority is always getting everyone back safely, even if that means not fulfilling an objective. If this happens, it is often a more valuable learning experience than an easy success!

What equipment do you provide?

Food for 3 meals each day.
All technical equipment (paddleboards, wetsuits etc)
We can provide sleeping bags for use in the bunkhouse, or participants are welcome to bring their own.

A full kit list will be provided upon signing up to the trip.
An online briefing meeting will be arranged for participants and parents approximately 3 weeks before the trip takes place.
Open to Gaelic-speaking teenagers in S1-S4 after the 2025 summer holidays.
What have past participants at Campa nan Torran said?
“It was an amazing opportunity for the children to spend a week immersed in Gaelic and doing really fantastic activities that challenged them. They will have amazing memories of it, and will have learned so many skills from the activities and in terms of their Gaelic.“
“My daughter loved every minute of it! The tutors were excellent, the accommodation was great, the food was fantastic, the activities were exciting and fun!“
“My son came home speaking much more Gaelic than before. It has significantly increased the likelihood of him using Gaelic with his friends, especially the group of friends who were at the camp together – they got used to speaking to each other in Gaelic and that has become much more the norm for them. The tutors are excellent role models for the children in terms of speaking Gaelic – they are seeing people outside of school or their own home speaking Gaelic – young, ‘cool'(!) people – and this makes them much more likely to use it themselves.“
We are aware that this week in October is not a school holiday for every area of Scotland. In the past, some schools have granted authorised absence in order that young people can attend a Spòrs Gàidhlig camp. We would be more than happy to speak to schools about this if required.

Dùbhlan Beinne an t-Samhraidh 2026: Sear gu Siar | Summer Mountain Expedition 2026: Coast to Coast ⛰️☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
2026-07-20 - 2026-07-25 | Inbhir Nis ¦ Inverness, 5 Mitchell's Lane, Inverness, Highland, IV2 3HQ, United Kingdom
Thigibh còmhla rinn air turas mòr Spòrs Ghàidhlig ann an 2026: Dùbhlan Beinne an t-Samhraidh air Gàidhealtachd!
Thairis air sia làithean, gabhaidh sinn sgrìob iongantach air chois thar bheanntan, mhonaidhean agus glinn gus cuairt mhòr adhartach a choileanadh. Leasachaidh sinn ar sgilean beinne agus togaidh sinn misneachd phearsanta le a bhith an sàs ann an dùbhlan mòr mar bhall de sgioba. Campaichidh sinn fad còig oidhcheannan agus gluaisidh sinn tro àrainneachd nam beann agus sinn a’ giùlan gach nì a bhios a dhìth oirnn. Ruigidh sinn mullaich àrda agus gheibh sinn seallaidhean riochdail den Ghàidhealtachd nach fhaighear ach le beagan spàirn!
Thig a’ bhuidheann còmhla aig oifis Chomunn na Gàidhlig ann an Inbhir Nis aig 11:30 air madainn Diluain 20mh Iuchar. Cuiridh sinn an uairsin an uidheamachd againn air dòigh agus thèid sinn ann am bus Spòrs Gàidhlig gu toiseach na cuairt, air cladach taobh sear Chataibh ann an Drochaid a’ Bhan-Àtha. Às a sin, gabhaidh sinn sgrìob aibheiseach tro sgìre cho mhaiseach agus iomallach ’s a tha na tìr-mòr na h-Alba, gus mu dheireadh thall a ruigeas sinn taobh siar na dùthcha againn. Bidh cothrom air mullaich Rothaich a ruighinn, tadhal air bothannan dìomhair agus làraich fhìor-chudromach ann an eachdraich nan Gàidheal fhaicinn.
Thig an turas gu ceann ann an Ulapul air an Dihaoine 24mh Iuchair. Gheibh sinn dìnnear mòr an sin air am bi sinn uile airidh, agus fuirichidh anns an làrach-campachaidh. Madainn Disathairne 25mh Iuchar, tillidh sinn a dh’Inbhir Nis ann am bus Spòrs Gàidhlig, agus bidh sinn air ais aig oifis ChnaG aig 15:00.
Bheir an turas adhartach a tha seo cothrom air leth air fèin-leasachadh don òigridh a bhios an sàs. Bidh dleastanas aig gach neach iad fhèin a ghiùlan ann an dòigh èifeachdach agus airson ghnìomhan a leithid còcaireachd agus cur an-àirde teanta a dhèanamh dhaibh fhèin, mar phàirt de sgioba agus fo stiùir iùilichean Spòrs Gàidhlig.
A thuilleadh air a sin, bidh uallach air gach com-pàirtiche oidhirp a dhèanamh gus àrainneachd Ghàidhlig a chumail an-àirde. ‘S ann air na tursan mòra, diana seo a chì sinn an t-adhartas agus misneachadh as motha a thaobh Gàidhlig, ach cha tig sin mura bi a’ bhuidheann gu lèir deònach a’ Ghàidhlig a bhruidhinn.
Tha teans aig deireadh na cuairte gum bi cothrom air beagan spòrs-uisge, a leithid bòrd-seasaimh no claiseachd. Bidh seo a-rèir clàr-ama agus na h-aimsir, agus fo stiùir iùilichean Spòs Gàidhlig, a tha le teisteanas na cur-seachadan seo a lìbhrigeadh.
Bidh am plana seo a-rèir na h-aimsir. Tha Spòrs Gàidhlig a’ glèidheil na còrach an t-slighe no an turas atharrachdainn mar a mheasas iad iomchaidh. Tha Spòrs Gàidhlig cuideachd a’ glèidheil na còrach àite a dhiùltadh do neach sam bith nach eil iad a’ meas a bhith aig ìre comais no slàinte a’ chuairt adhartach seo a choileanadh gu sàbhailte.
Fosgailte gu S3-6 a tha fileanta sa Ghàidhlig.

Join us on Spòrs Gàidhlig’s big summer mountain challenge 2026!
Over six days, between 20th and 25th July 2026 we will embark on an epic journey through the mountains, and glens of Sutherland and Wester Ross, one of the most rugged and remote areas of the Highlands. We will learn mountain skills and build confidence by undertaking a real challenge as part of a group. We will camp for five nights and move through the mountainous environment carrying everything we need to be self-sufficient. The exact route will depend on a number of factors, but we will pass through the Alladale Wilderness Reserve, reach Munro summits such as Seana-Bhràigh and visit *secret* bothies, well off the beaten track. Throughout the trip we will be spoilt with magnificent views of the Highland landscape only seen by those willing to put in a special effort.
The group will meet at 11:30 at Comunn na Gàidhlig’s office in Inverness on Monday 20th July. We will prepare equipment, pack our bags and depart in Spòrs Gàidhlig’s minibus to the start of our expedition on the shore at Bonar Bridge. We will then spend 5 days on a spectacular mountain walking and camping adventure, travelling westwards through glens and over remote peaks to arrive finally on the West Coast in Ullapool on Friday 24th July. Here we will get a well-deserved dinner at the Cèilidh Place and stay at the village campsite. In the morning of Saturday 25th August we will do some exploring locally (maybe even an easy paddle-boarding or gorge scrambling excursion!) before returning to Inverness in Spòrs Gàidhlig’s minibus. We will be back at the office in Inverness for 15:00.
This trip for competent young people will offer great opportunities for personal development. Each individual will have a responsibility to work effectively as part of the team and carry out tasks like cooking camp meals and putting up their tents under the guidance of Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors.

Gàidhlig
This is a trip for fluent Gaelic speakers. It is on multi-day trips such as these that we see the greatest impact with regards to participants’ confidence in using Gaelic socially, and their esteem for the language. Under Spòrs Gàidhlig’s ethos, we aim to create a fully-immersive Gaelic environment, which requires the involvement of the entire party to succeed. Every participant must understand therefore that they have a reponsibility to uphold this environment and make every effort to use Gaelic.
How difficult will the trip be?
This trip is suitable for active individuals in S3-6 who are prepared for a challenge in the outdoors.
Participants should expect to be tired at the end of each day. A multi-day journey like this requires concerted effort to complete, both while travelling and in evening tasks relating to setting up camp, preparing food and dealing with inclement weather. We will be moving in mountainous terrain while carrying everything we need to look after ourselves, including sleeping bags, tents and stoves.
We will aim to reach Munro summits on some days, and the trip will include significant elevation gain as weather allows.
The committing and challenging nature of this expedition means that it is not suitable for those who do not have a genuine interest in the activity. We would ask that participants understand the challenges that will be involved and, simply put, actually want to be there.
What safety precautions do you take?
Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors are highly experienced and are formally qualified to the appropriate level to be delivering these activities. In this case, they hold the Summer Mountain Leader award or higher and a valid outdoor first aid certificate. Spòrs Gàidhlig is proud to be the only Gaelic organisation to hold an AALA licence.
Each instructor carries a first-aid kit, and where appropriate, a walkie talkie/radio for communication within the group. They will also have mobile phones which can be used where coverage allows, and a PLB in the group.
Trips are flexible. Routes can be amended to adapt to Scotland’s highly changeable weather and instructors’ judgement of the group’s capabilities. The priority is always getting everyone back safely, even if that means not fulfilling an objective. If this happens, it is often a more valuable learning experience than an easy success!

Will you explain how equipment is used?
Both for safety and participants’ enjoyment of the trip, full briefings will be given on all equipment. Spòrs Gàidhlig’s instructors will ensure that everyone knows how to safely use their stove, and use of these will be monitored. Help will be provided with setting up tents where this is required, and throughout the trip participants will learn how to effectively look after themselves in mountainous environments.
What equipment do you provide?

Dry bags
Tent
Sleeping bag
Foam camping mat
Camping stoves and fuel
Food for 3 meals each day. (Participants should bring any additional snacks they might want)
Full waterproofs, warm layers, rucksacks, etc, if required.

A full kit list will be provided upon signing up to the trip.
An online briefing meeting will be arranged for participants and parents approximately 3 weeks before the trip takes place.
Open to Gaelic-speaking teenagers in S3-S6.
Spòrs Gàidhlig reserves the right to refuse a place on this trip to anyone they do not feel meets the required level of skill, fitness or commitment to maintaining the Gaelic environment within the group.
This trip would qualify as a suitable practice expedition for the Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Thigibh còmhla ri sgioba Spòrs Gàidhlig airson campa air leth san Eilean Sgitheanach, a’ rùrach am measg beanntan agus uisgeachan an Eilein, uile tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig!

Gabhaidh sinn ris an aimsir a gheibh sinn air an t-seachdain, ach tha sinn an dùil gum bi prògram measgaichte ann de chlaiseachd, bòrd-seasaimh, coiseachd nam beann, sreap agus cuairtean cultarail an lùib a’ phrògraim! Tachraidh seo uile fo stiùir iùlichean Spòrs Gàidhlig. Faodaidh a’ bhuidheann cuideachadh le taghadh cò na cur-seachadan a nì sinn tron t-seachdain, agus bithidh cothrom air rudan nas socraiche a leithid geamaichean agus co-fharpais Wii Sports!

‘S ann do sgoilearan a bhios ann an S2-4 às dèidh samhradh 2026 agus a tha fileanta sa Ghàidhlig a bhios an campa seo.
Bheir an campa seo cothrom air leth air fèin-leasachadh don òigridh a bhios an sàs. Bidh aig gach neach a bhith deiseil dleastanas as ghabhail airson ghnìomhan a leithid còcaireachd, glanadh agus agus eile, mar phàirt de sgioba agus fo stiùir iùilichean Spòrs Gàidhlig.
Tha sinn ag amas air àrainneachd a tha gu tur Gàidhlig a chruthachadh aig na campaichean seo, far an cluinn agus cleachd an òigridh an cànan mar a bhuineas e ri beatha làitheil agus còmhradh neo-fhoirmeil. Bidh uallach air gach com-pàirtiche oidhirp a dhèanamh gus an àrainneachd ud a chumail an-àirde. ’S ann aig tachartasan nas fhaide mar seo a chì sinn an t-adhartas agus misneachadh as motha a thaobh Gàidhlig, ach cha tig sin mura bi a’ bhuidheann gu lèir deònach a’ Ghàidhlig a bhruidhinn.

Join Spòrs Gàidhlig for a camp full of fun and adventure in the Isle of Skye, exploring the island’s mountains, gorges and lochs with a action-packed programme – all through the medium of Gaelic!

What have past participants at Campa nan Torran said?
“It was an amazing opportunity for the children to spend a week immersed in Gaelic and doing really fantastic activities that challenged them. They will have amazing memories of it, and will have learned so many skills from the activities and in terms of their Gaelic.“
“My daughter loved every minute of it! The tutors were excellent, the accommodation was great, the food was fantastic, the activities were exciting and fun!“
“My son came home speaking much more Gaelic than before. It has significantly increased the likelihood of him using Gaelic with his friends, especially the group of friends who were at the camp together – they got used to speaking to each other in Gaelic and that has become much more the norm for them. The tutors are excellent role models for the children in terms of speaking Gaelic – they are seeing people outside of school or their own home speaking Gaelic – young, ‘cool'(!) people – and this makes them much more likely to use it themselves.“
“I was told it was the best food! Lasagna was mentioned many times over.”
“Bha ar mac cho toilichte air a’ champa! Chan eil e a’ bruidhinn air càil eile aig ceann na seachdain!”
Spòrs Gàidhlig reserves the right to refuse a place on this trip to anyone they do not feel meets the required level of skill, fitness or commitment to maintaining the Gaelic environment within the group.
** This camp may be attended by a researcher from Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, and will form part of the fieldwork for their PhD, looking at the impact of Gaelic residential camps for teenagers. Further information on this will be sent out to participants closer to the time, and participation in the research is not mandatory for those attending the camp. **
