We also run residentials holidays in the summer holidays, in partnership with Scripture Union Scotland, and residential weekends during the school year.  Staff, volunteers and young people participate in other youth activities in Argyll and across Scotland on an occasional basis.  Many of our activities are run in close partnership with Dunoon Grammar School and its feeder Primary Schools. Most activities are run in association with the Cowal churches, especially the Church of Scotland, Dunoon Baptist Church, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, St Mun’s Roman Catholic Church, and New Life Christian Fellowship.
