Looking for a weekend to recharge, meet inspiring people and build your confidence to take action on climate and social justice?

A 3-day camp bringing groups and young people together from across Scotland to connect, collaborate and recharge - build your skills, find your place in the movement and collectively explore what comes next in the fight for climate and social justice.

Who it's for:

You don't need to be a YFoES member already to come along! Anyone aged 18-30 is welcome - whether you’re completely new to activism or a seasoned pro, this weekend is for you. Many people come without knowing anyone beforehand. We'll help everyone settle in, meet others and feel part of the weekend from the moment you arrive.

What to expect:

Expect inspiring conversations, shared meals, time outdoors, creative sessions, practical workshops and plenty of space to connect with other young people who care.

By the end of the weekend you'll:

have new friends and connections across Scotland

feel more confident taking action

discover new campaigns and opportunities

learn practical organising skills

spend a restorative weekend in the Cairngorms

Cost shouldn't be a barrier. We can help cover travel and ticket costs - just get in touch (young@foe.scot).
