DofE Gold Expedition Packages from Peak Pursuits

Standard Expedition Package (inclusive of all camp fees) from £345 + VAT per person

Direct Entrants Expedition Package (inclusive of all camp fees) from £410 + VAT per person

The Gold Standard Expedition Package consists of:

a)     2-day intensive training, in a classroom environment, introducing the main expedition skills underpinned by our Advanced Workbook. Each team will plan their Practice Expedition. Under expert guidance, they will produce a routecard and tracing for each day.

b)    3-day Practice Expedition, including 2 overnight camps. Our leaders will provide additional "in-the-field" training and guidance until they feel confident that the team are ready to support themselves. Thereafter, the teams will be supervised by our leaders remotely. On arriving at camp, our leaders will supervise the camping and cooking activities to ensure these are executed safely. Each leader will carry out a de-brief with their team, and produce a report on their progress.

c)     A full-day Route Planning session. Groups will plan their own route, with guidance from our leaders, and will produce a set of deliverables that can be sent to the Expedition Networks and Assessors for approval.

d)    A 5-day expedition period, starting with a familiarisation day followed by a 4-day, 3-night Qualifying Expedition. The teams will use DofE approved camp sites, or will wild camp where appropriate. At the end of the expedition, we will carry out a de-brief with the group. The expedition includes full assessment by an Accredited Assessor at Gold level.

Camp site accommodation during the expedition for the teams is included in the package.
