The next stage of the DofE journey. In most cases students will have completed a Bronze expedition, however this is not always the case but we will make sure they are fully prepared for the Silver Level.
As with the Bronze level, we will help you design and implement your expedition, organise the expedition area, provide the equipment you need, help guide you through the logistics of the expeditions and any other bits and pieces that crop up to make sure that your expedition runs as smoothly as possible.
Our Silver programme consists of:
1 Day training:
During this day we will cover; navigation, Route planning, Meal planning – including sample menus, cooking with a Trangia stove, Basic first aid and emergency procedures, the 20 conditions, The countryside code, Group work with Aims and objectives, Tent pitching, what kit to bring and rucksack packing.
3 day practise expedition:
A three day expedition in a similar environment to their assessed expedition, including two overnight stay in campsites.
3 day assessed expedition:
A three day expedition, including two overnight stay in campsites. This expedition will be assessed by approved DofE assessors.
Campsite fees are included in the price.
Staff: on every expedition there will always be two supervisors at all times. In addition to that we work off a minimum of 1:12 ratio for all of our expeditions.

What’s not included: Transport to and from the start points, this can either be arranged by the school or left to the parents to organise.
