A group of children from across the north have been learning how to survive in the wild.
Eleven youngsters aged from eight to 11 from Forres, Hopeman, Whitehills, Inverness, Tain and Ullapool are camping out for four days deep within Culben Forest in Moray.
The group are learning about everything from how to make and cook on a fire to how to forage for food.
The camp is organised by Wild Things, an education charity based in Findhorn.
Holly Willmott from the charity said: “Many of the kids have never been camping before so it’s obviously a huge adventure for them.
“Many youngsters these days are cut off from nature. They are taken everywhere by car and their parents worry about letting them out to play.
“The aim of the camp is reconnect youngsters to their natural surroundings, foster a love of the environment, allow them to become more self-reliant and also spark their imaginations a little.”
Since its formation in 2003, Wild Things has enabled more than 7,000 children and adults to learn from and be inspired by the remote wilderness regions of Scotland.
It was recently awarded £7,500 by the bank Santander to help carry on its programme.
