The Adventure Element have taken the workload out of our DofE provision. Their expertise and knowledge makes the whole process really easy to handle. The instructors are great, and their support for our young people is superb. The tracking devices along with the high quality equipment provided makes our lives easier and gives parents a real peace of mind.

Andy Field
Teacher of Computing/DT/Maths - Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Penrith

"We moved to using The Adventure Element last year for our Duke of Edinburgh's Award expeditions after meeting with Ben to discuss a bespoke program 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 and their understanding of how the Awards fit into our larger adventure learning ideals. I was particularly impressed with the planning that they put into the Bronze level which included recruiting local leaders with specific knowledge"

Dr Mark Woodward
DofE Award Manager - The Stephen Perse Foundation

"They have provided inspiring and professional mountain leaders to aid our young people on their Gold DofE expedition. The team have been fantastic in supporting and communicating with us in addition to providing ideas to enhance our programme."

James Drury
DofE Manager - Scarborough 6th Form College

"The ultimate was seeing our students cast aside mobile phones to saw logs and create fires with such enthusiasm! We were supremely well supported by the team throughout and would have no hesitation in returning."
