Silver DofE Expedition

---

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.  We are happy to accept direct candidates. 

School staff are welcome to attend as pastoral support.
