| As a result of the break-up of Strathclyde Region in 1996 there
is no longer any direct provision of Outdoor Education within South
Ayrshire. However both Outdoor Education and residential experience
are regarded as valuable elements of the curriculum and the personal
and social development of young people.
Dolphin House Statistics
The capacity at the Dolphin House is currently 
- 32 pupils within 7 small dormitories
- 3 staff bedrooms
Up to 26 pupils can also be accommodated in the Cedar Wood Lodge

The main meeting room in the
Dolphin House acts as both a lecture room and dining room, being
adjacent to the kitchen. Facilities on site include a Souvenir/Tuck
shop, drying rooms, male/female showers, staff room and outdoor

gifted a specialist wheelchair for the beach.
