We work with thousands of young people every year, delivering high-quality, tailor-made walking expeditions for schools and groups across England and Wales, with regular expeditions delivered throughout South East England.

We are among the UK’s first, largest and most trusted AAPs, with decades of experience supporting schools and youth organisations. Our directors, Philip and Sarah, bring 60 years of combined DofE expertise, supported by a dedicated team of office staff and highly qualified instructors who guide schools through every stage of their expedition programme.

We provide full national Bronze, Silver and Gold DofE expedition services, including route guidance, campsite bookings, training resources, fully qualified instructors, course directors and accredited assessors. All programmes are carefully tailored to meet the needs of each school or group, underpinned by an excellent safety record and consistently positive feedback from long-standing, repeat clients.

Our expeditions are designed to be fun, educational and safe, and are led by highly qualified, professional instructors who are passionate about outdoor learning. The outdoors is at the heart of everything we do, and we put genuine care and enthusiasm into ensuring every participant has a rewarding and memorable DofE experience.

We also run bushcraft and other outdoor training courses through our Wilderness Project.
