SOEC is a Scottish charity working to support teachers and schools .  Our aim is to provide high quality learning opportunities that teachers and pupils can trust and enjoy at an affordable rate.

"Progressive outdoor learning experiences are best delivered through a combination of schol-based outdoor learning and residential programmes".  Keith Brown MSP, Minister for Skills & Lifelong Learning 2010.  Ministerial Foreward:  Curriculum for Excellence Through Outdoor Learning.

We welcome groups of all types and ages to our Centres - Belmont, Broomlee, Dounans and Loaningdale.

Through our specially trained tutors, all children and young people will be engaged in the development of the competencies, qualities, skills and knowledge required in Curriculum for Excellence. SOEC ensures that learning is fun. Most teachers and group leaders want to know that a residential visit will be delivered to highly professional, educational and safety standards. Parents and group leaders will want to know that the care, health and wellbeing of their children are paramount to us.

Whatever your own particular interests, we welcome the opportunity to explore with you how SOEC, our Centres and Staff can meet your specific needs.
