The Abernethy Gap Academy is designed to fit into your gap year, giving you an opportunity to serve, adventure and be discipled as you live in an intentional Christian community. Join our 6-month full-time residential program to grow in faith, develop your character, practice your soft skills and gain valuable life skills – all whilst living in Christian Community in the Cairngorms. Following the 6-month program there will be the opportunity for some students to stay on for an extra 6 months, putting what you have learnt into practice in one of our centres. We run two programs each year, starting in August and in March. Each week there will be 5 and a half action-packed days doing a mixture of timetabled adventure, service, and discipleship. Your time will be spent serving on the hospitality team (house, kitchen and maintenance), participating in our ‘Life and Faith Development’ programme and doing outdoor activities, both with our guests and with our Gap Year Outdoor Adventure Tutor. You will also have the opportunity to go on overnight expeditions. Every Wednesday night you will join in with the Abernethy Team Fellowship program. This is an evening where the whole team meets together to enjoy external speakers (challenging and encouraging us with scripture), worship and other activities. You will also have the opportunity to plan and deliver a couple of sessions throughout your time with us. Sometimes our groups have an evening program which you will be involved with. This will include helping to run wide games, supervising people around the bonfire, and assisting in the delivery of a Christian message to our guests who come to Abernethy. Each Sunday morning will be spent joining the local community by going to the village church (Abernethy Parish Church).
