Seven New Scots and five young people with care experience aged 17 to 19 are part of the group.
So far they have also enjoyed hill walking sessions at Culzean Castle and Country Park and a two-day mountain trek with the team at Gowanbank Outdoor Activity Base in Darwell.
The activities were funded through the council’s Learning and Development team, Sport Scotland’s Active Schools programme, the Multiply community program which helps adults improve their maths skills, The Outdoor Partnership and the North Ayrshire Ukrainian Committee.
The aim of the group, which is supported by a Locality Link Worker, is for participants to reach a level where they can lead mountain walks with people from their own communities, encouraging others to access nature and enjoy Scotland’s beautiful natural environment .
Participants will also gain qualifications in outdoor learning, which can lead to employment opportunities.
Councilor Alan Hill, cabinet member for communities and islands, said: “It’s wonderful to see people from different backgrounds and cultures taking on the different challenges that are part of the Adventure Group.
“The group are learning some very valuable skills which will hopefully help them in finding employment.
“And they can also enjoy stunning scenery while learning more about what Scotland’s remarkable scenery, hills and nature has to offer. Congratulations to all involved.”
