Trekkers Camp are able to offer you the opportunity of completing this section of your award.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme specifies the following:

"The section requires you to undertake a shared activity or specific course in a residential setting away from home and in an unfamiliar environment. The project should be for at least five days in duration."

"You will have the opportunity to meet new people, build new relationships and work as part of a team towards a shared goal. It is expected that you will normally require briefing or training prior to and during the residential period so that you are able to contribute fully and get full benefit from the experience. Typical residential settings include youth hostels, sailing ships, activity centres or specific camps. Staying with families in their own homes is not suitable. It is important that wherever you go for your residential experience, it should be your own choice, and you are not gaining financially by taking part."

TREKKERS CAMP meets all these requirements, however, due to the nature of our camp, all we ask is that you undertake a full weeks commitment from Saturday to Saturday (7 nights). This ensures that you gain the most from your experiences with us and that the disabled participants receive a continuous flow of care. The care of our campers can become disjointed due to either the late arrival or early departure of their helpers.
