WHAT WE DO

Outdoor education is a critical tool in instilling confidence, developing relationships, creating scenarios for young people to face and learn together in an outdoor setting.  For over 50 years, we have used outdoor adventure as a way to challenge and grow groups of young people.

We have a number of amazing week long residentials that fulfil the DofE Gold Residential criteria.

Our weeks include – DofE Learn to Cook, DofE Adventure Activities and DofE Environment and Conservation.

We are sure you will have a wonderful time on our residential weeks whilst completing an integral part of your Duke of Edinburgh Gold award.
