Rooted (for men)

September 18 - September 20

Description

Join us for an adventure-fuelled weekend retreat for men in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Step away from everyday life to connect with others, encounter the wild, and deepen your relationship with God.

Rooted for Men is a weekend packed with great food, laughter, meaningful conversation, and space to go deeper in your Christian faith. It’s about challenge, rest, and belonging.

You can push yourself physically and mentally through a range of adventurous outdoor activities, or take things at a gentler pace — whether that’s a scenic hill walk or a relaxed stroll to the local coffee shop in Nethy Bridge. The weekend is intentionally designed so you can engage at a level that suits you and find what you came looking for.

What the weekend includes:

  • A range of adventurous outdoor activities* — previously including gorge walking, mountain biking, hillwalking, canoeing or kayaking, paddleboarding, and bushcraft
  • Optional cold-water survival plunge
  • Abernethy’s very own Highland Games — with the chance to be immortalised on our champions’ salver
  • Outdoor worship and personal testimonies
  • Talks from our guest speaker
  • A generous BBQ feast
  • Access to our swimming pool, tennis court, and other on-site facilities

*Activities are weather-dependent, as always in the Highlands.

Dates:
Friday 18th – Sunday 20th September, 2026
Times:
Arrival from 7pm Friday (first meal is Saturday breakfast)
Departure 2pm Sunday (last meal is Sunday lunch)
