Somerset provides Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions for candidates completing their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. We also tailor on-going expedition programmes for School groups.
Each school holidays we operate ‘Open Expeditions’ where individuals from any school are invited to attend (students must not be over 18 and must still be in school).
Please see the dates and details below. For more information please contact Jenny McMahon at our Administrations Office.
