“This half term we went on our Silver DofE practice and assessed expeditions which were a challenging yet fun experience. Over the course of three days we walked 60km, walking seven hours a day learning navigation skills and how to work effectively as a team. We also had to set up our own tents and cook our own food, after fueling ourselves with lots of yummy snacks throughout the day!
In our free time at the campsite all the groups came together and sang songs and told ghost stories in the spooky dark; our supportive leaders joined in for
some too. The leaders were very helpful with guiding us with the navigation whilst
supporting and motivating us throughout the expeditions.
We recommend this experience as it is a very good team bonding activity which you can do with your friends as well as meeting other people in the year you may not have spoken to before. It also teaches you transferable skills like teamwork and communication which will be great for your CV and future jobs and experiences.” - Kirsten & Izzy 11ESU
