Sport
Each academic session will be balanced by a varied and interesting programme of
activities. All instruction is in English, which assists the learning of the language.
A wide range of sports and team games is available and attention will be paid to
individual fitness skills.
Badminton, Basketball, Soccer, Field Hockey, Tennis, Volleyball, Squash, Canoeing,
Swimming and Athletics are included. There is also an introduction to Rock climbing
under controlled conditions on Gordonstoun's climbing wall.
There will be a sports day and swimming gala in which student clans compete at the
end of each course and these events provide an exciting climax to the summer sports
programme.

A special feature of these activities will be the school's individual physical fitness
programme. All students will be encouraged to improve their skill and ability in
as many different events as possible within their own limits.
While there will be no question of overstrain, appropriate training will be provided
for complete beginners as well as for those with experience.
Sailing
The school has its own fleet of Devon yawls a short
distance away in the fishing harbour of Hopeman. Summer school students follow a
short course in small boat sailing as part of their programme and have an opportunity
to sail along the shores of the Moray Firth with its wealth of sea birds and resident
dolphins.
