ExpEDITIONs ON A MIssION Our Team Expeditions take place in hugely inspiring environments with trekking expeditions in either Snowdonia or the Lake District and canoeing expeditions on the River Wye. With an emphasis on personal development, both options are extremely rewarding. They are physically and mentally challenging as students learn how to adapt and become self and team resilient in a wild country environment. With just the right level of encouragement from our experienced Leaders they will build strong self-confidence, learn new skills and take ownership of their expedition. Their experience will give them skills for life, whichever direction they take.
Fit for life There is a big focus on helping students to recognise the importance of fitness and nutrition too. This not only benefits them during their expedition but stands them in good stead for years to come.
