Welcome

Wee Adventures promises to send children home muddy, happy, tired and inspired, and it means every word.

Husband and wife Biscuit and Sarah Turner have run it from Aberfeldy since 2015. Sarah looks after the business, and Biscuit, a canoe and kayak coach with more than twenty years of guiding behind him, leads the adventures. In the school holidays its Activity Days give children a whole day outdoors in the woods and on the water, and no two are the same. Families can head out together too, exploring Perthshire's lochs by canoe, and there are birthday parties all year round, a monthly club, a bike club and outdoor learning sessions for home educated children. Adults get a turn with tailor-made days and canoeing courses, from a first paddle on the loch to skills on the river. Sessions often run in Weem Forest, at the Birks of Aberfeldy, at Bennybeg near Crieff, and on Loch Tay, Loch Faskally and the River Tummel. Everything is booked online through its own site.
