Expedition
23 March 2018
Students will explore the countryside and spend a night away with friends. The expedition will give them lifelong memories. They will plan, train for and do an expedition, spending two days and one night away. There will be an initial training weekend to prepare for the expedition. The students will be part of a small team, where they will plan an aim, choose a location/route and do some training to make sure they are prepared and know what they are doing.
The expedition will improve their communication and leadership skills and although they will come home with a rucksack full of washing, they will have an experience they won’t forget.
