The Programme
Once an expedition has gone live, the planning, training and fun can begin!
Our build up programme is designed to develop vital life skills and help students prepare for the challenges that they will face whilst on expedition and in their everyday lives in the future.
The Expedition Timeline
Itinerary Development Session
This session is an opportunity for teams to discuss and agree on itinerary choices, aims and learning outcomes for their expedition.
Team building activities encourage students to bond and start working collaboratively.
They also start to work on their fundraising goals and plan activities together.
Expedition Leader Meeting
Teams and parents meet their assigned Expedition Leader, who also provides detailed information on kit, equipment and any pre-departure requirements.
They also learn about each of the different roles that they will be taking on whilst overseas and present their final itinerary to parents.
Expedition Training Weekend
To prepare students for the challenges of expedition, they spend a weekend with their team and their Leader in a national park environment in the UK.
It's an opportunity to build on those all important team work skills as well as practise some of the leadership roles that the team will take on in country such as budgeting, preparing meals and managing equipment.
The team will also take part in a trek of a similar challenge level to the one they will be tackling overseas.
Final Preparation
An opportunity for a final check of personal/group kit and documentation, making sure everyone has everything they need and is ready to travel.
The team also run through the itinerary details and assign group roles for the first leg of the journey.
