Project Description
Muirhouse Youth Development Group
David Fox-Pitt and WildFox Events have been supporting a summer camp for the Muirhouse Youth Development Group for nearly a decade. Youth Groups come together to enjoy the freedom and fun activities facilitated by their leaders in association with WildFox Events.
Each July, Muirhouse Youth Development Group staff and young volunteers plan and deliver their flagship ‘Youth Work Games’ residential by the banks of Loch Tay on Kindrochit Farm. During the 3 day residential, around 150 individuals – including around 100 young people and 15 youth work organisations from across Scotland take part in multiple sporting and team building activities.
The Youth Work Games breaks down many barriers and promotes young people’s health and wellbeing. This is achieved by providing young people with the opportunity to have a break from their normal surroundings, get outdoors and meet new people from different backgrounds, work together as a team and take part in a range of activities in a competitive but safe and supportive youth friendly environment.
