Young Life Cairn Brae Camp

Young Life Cairn Brae sits just outside Crieff, a working Christian youth camp that's been operating for decades. It's not the sort of place you'd stumble across by accident - you need to know it's there and ideally have an invitation. The camp uses the grounds for religious education and retreats, hosting groups of teenagers throughout the year.

If you're visiting the area on a caravan holiday - there's Braidhaugh just down the road, or Comrie Croft a touch further on - you won't wander in here for a casual afternoon. This isn't a public tourist attraction with shop and café. What you get depends entirely on whether you're part of an organised group or have connections to Young Life itself.

For families staying at nearby parks, it's worth knowing the camp exists if you're interested in local religious history or youth work in the region. The grounds are pleasant enough Perthshire countryside, but you'd need prior arrangement to visit properly. Ring ahead from your caravan if you're curious - they may welcome visitors during quieter periods, though don't expect museum-style access.

The real value here isn't the building or grounds themselves, but the community it represents. If you're faith-focused or have teenagers interested in outdoor education programmes, it's worth investigating further. Otherwise, the Crieff area has plenty of more accessible attractions to fill a holiday.
