Bronze DofE Expeditions

---

The short package is a great way for organisations new to DofE to offer a quick way of completing a Bronze Expedition over 4 days. This can be done in a variety of ways over 2 weekends, mid week, as part of an end of term activity offer or during a school holiday. Training will be on your school site, with the qualifying expedition taking place locally. 

East Coast Outdoors takes responsibility for the whole expedition under our risk assessments and safe operating procedures. We pride ourselves on delivering high quality experiences from the point of drop off, until the last participant has been collected. School staff are welcome to attend as pastoral support.   

What we provide:

• Maps, compasses, tents, stoves and fuel.
• Training resources.
• Operations Manager who will co-ordinate with you and support from start to finish.
• Fully risk assessed, DBS checked and qualified Leaders, Competent Adults and Assessors. 
• We have limited stock of rucksacks, waterproofs and roll mats which we can provide free of charge (subject to satisfactory return) if required.
• Attendance at parents’ evenings or school assemblies if required.

Bronze short package:

• 2 days of training at your site which will include a short-day walk and all the essential criteria to prepare candidates.
• Fully supervised 2-day qualifying expedition.
• Upload the assessor reports direct onto edofe.

Expedition Area: 

We aim to stay as local to your site as possible to reduce travel time and costs.  The coastline and local forestry as usual choices, but we will work with you to accommodate your wishes and provide a challenging experience. 

Any questions please give us a call or email we are always happy to talk and offer advice.
