This is our major training expedition. The purpose of this Expedition is to give our kids the skills and training necessary to undertake a journey by themselves in remote country. We do this by putting the kids through a two-day intensive training phase and follow it up with an assisted overnight hike before taking on the two-night, three-day hike where staff follow but do not assist (until it is time to catch the bus home). This expedition has traditionally brought about some truly inspirational changes in the way that these young people view themselves, each other and their environment. Not a few of last year’s expeditioners will return this year to act as Assistant Leaders where they will learn leadership in a very real and practical setting with real responsibilities, rather than it being just a meaningless badge or certificate.
