THE FIRST STEPS TO FREEDOM

bronze certification

The Bronze Award helps students develop campcraft, navigation and survival skills in a 2-days / 1-night journey. They can either choose to pick a desert or mountain location and will always be accompanied by trained and experienced supervisors. Participants learn a plethora of new skills with a careful balance of instructions and independence. Maximum measures of safety are always followed and pre-departure meetings are conducted to make sure everyone is prepared.

GOING THE DISTANCE

Silver certification

The Silver Award is a step further into the spirit of adventure for students which pushes their skills, stamina and mindset in a 3-days / 2-nights journey. It involves 7 hours per day of expedition which takes participants further on more challenging terrain. Our trained staff are totally certified to assess qualifying journeys and provide an on-going report to students for their better development.

PEAK OF THE ADVENTURE

Gold certification

The Gold Award expedition is the pinnacle of adventure for participants. It is an enduring and extreme experience and requires commitment over the 12 month course, which ultimately leads to a 4-days / 3-nights expedition. The journey consists of 8 hours per day and takes students to some of the most remote, scenic and challenging destinations where their skills of navigation, survival, campcraft and knowledge of nature is tested. It is thus recognized by universities and organizations over the world.

ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY

EXTRA CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES

We also provide students with the physical and residential section of the award. The residential can be completed by joining our team at our base in Hatta for a week’s experience in the outdoor industry.

For the physical, we provide climbing and kayaking development, following British NICAS and Paddle Start schemes. These can then be combined with the GCSE PE in a final assessment to give an excellent grade for Kayaking and Climbing, respectively.
