Camas Centre

Camas - an adventure, a Journey!

"Together, we seek to enable growth in love, respect and awareness of ourselves, each other, God and the Environment" 

Doug - guest block

Camas offers a unique adventure to all. Many young people and adults have found their visits both memorable and meaningful through discovery and recreation, laughter and conversation, peace and activity coming together in this beautiful place.

Based in old quarrymen's cottages in a remote bay on the Isle of Mull, twenty minutes walk from the road end over moorland. Camas provides accommodation and hospitality for up to 28 with an emphasis on simple lifestyle and closeness to nature.

 
 
  
Camas abseilingAs part of the integration of spirituality and work which is at the heart of the Camas and the Iona Community, reflections and daily chores are shared in by both guests and staff together. 
 

 

Guests and staff get to know each other really well in such an isolated and small-scale living space, and they find that self-reliance and mutual dependence are two sides of the same coin. Living in harmony with the elements is a way of life at Camas.

 

Food from the garden; energy from the sun and wind for power - accommodation is simple but meets all the basic needs. Recent redevelopments at the centre has provided more comfortable small sleeping dorms and separate accommodation for Group Leaders; hot showers - depending on power from the wind or sun; environmentally friendly flushing loos; drying room, all add to the enjoyment of staying at Camas.

There are many enjoyable walks in the area. The scenery is beautiful, and there are lovely bays for those who like to swim. Camas bay itself is ideal for learning to Kayak or work together to build a raft.
