Camas Center

The Camas Centre is a unique outdoor activity and residential facility run by the Iona Community, nestled in a remote, picturesque bay on the Isle of Mull. Accessible via a walk or by boat, it offers a distinctive experience rooted in simple living, community building, and a deep connection to nature. Housed in former quarrymen’s cottages, the centre welcomes groups, including young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, for weeks of adventure and shared experience in the Scottish wilderness.

A core aspect of the Camas Centre’s ethos is its commitment to sustainable living. The facility operates off-grid, powered primarily by wind and solar energy, and features an organic garden that contributes to its self-sufficiency. Guests participate in a variety of outdoor pursuits, such as kayaking, abseiling, hill-walking, and raft-building, fostering personal growth and teamwork. The focus is on providing a transformative experience through engagement with the natural environment and communal living.

The Camas Centre offers a space for reflection, adventure, and personal development amidst stunning coastal scenery. It provides a unique opportunity to disconnect from modern life and immerse oneself in a simpler, more connected way of being. Through its programmes, the centre aims to build community, encourage respect for nature, and offer a positive and memorable experience for all who visit this special corner of Mull.
