A holiday workshop for young adventurers aged 6- 9
Adventure Makers is a holiday drama workshop where children step into their own stories and bring them to life. Through imaginative play, drama and outdoor exploration, children will create characters, discover magical places and go on adventures that unfold in real time around them.
One moment, they might be tracking a mysterious creature through the forest. The next, negotiating with a troll, decoding a message, or uncovering a hidden world. Every twist and every discovery comes from the children themselves. Guided by skilled drama facilitators who know how to follow a child's imagination wherever it leads.
Playful, physical, and full of wonder.
Where: Rovers Scouts Auchenflower
Please note that we go ahead rain or shine as we have access to various undercover options.

Game Makers is a holiday workshop for young people aged 10-14 who love to play and invent. Part game design studio, part drama workshop, part outdoor adventure where participants will spend the day making original performative games: experiences where the rules are yours, the world is built from scratch, and the other players are your audience.
Working in small groups, young game makers will design games that live in the body, in the landscape, and in the imagination. Games that need a villain, a twist, a map, a secret. Games that can only be played here, by these people, on this day.
By the end of the day, each group will have created something no one has ever played before and will hand it to their peers to bring to life.
This is theatre. This is play. This is Game Makers.
