Get in touch

We moved to using The Adventure Element last year for our DofE Award expeditions after meeting with Ben to discuss a bespoke programme for our students. This year, all three levels are being run through them, involving over 150 students. This is a reflection of the enthusiasm from parents. I was particularly impressed with the planning that they put into the Bronze level, which included recruiting local leaders with specific knowledge.
