Military Support:
The Red Beacon
Join Our Camps and Courses for Veterans
The Red Beacon is the heart of Operation Cairngorms, created for members of the military, serving personnel, veterans, and reservists. It’s your space to reconnect, rediscover, and rebuild through camaraderie, peer support, and practical skills in the outdoors.
Whether you’re seeking resilience, adventure, or a moment to reset, Operation Cairngorms empowers you to thrive through the power of the outdoors.
Programmes
Monthly Campfire Gathering
Join us at the main woodland camp, there will be the chance to enjoy hot drinks and a breakfast roll and meet other members of the military living in the area. We will then head up to the axe-throwing range and hopefully hit some targets.
This is for those still serving and those who have served, and those working within the emergency services.
There is a small donation request of minimum £5 that goes towards the cost of the food and drinks; this can be paid on the day.
Veterans Overnight Camp
Time Out With Purpose – No Pressure, No Expectations
Step into the woodland for 24 hours of reconnection, reflection, and real conversation. From woodland walks and axe throwing to campfire cooking and skill sharing — this is your chance to reset in the company of like-minded individuals from similar backgrounds.
This isn’t therapy. It’s re-engagement. Social. Friendly. A little less filtered.
