FAQ's
​
Where do your expeditions and training take place?
The DofE guidelines stipulate that Silver should be in an unfamiliar area, depending on the location of your school we will aim to have start and finish points that are within 15 miles of the school to make drop off and collection convenient and cost effective.
​
What equipment is provided by School of Outdoors?
As standard we will provide all staff (supervisors and assessors), tents, trangias with gas, maps, compasses, camp site fees and all risk assessments. Personal kit is not provided.
​
Do my staff need to attend?
Whilst it is not necessary for staff from schools and centres to attend, we are happy for you to come along and see the effort put in by your students and of course celebrate their success with them at the end. We are able to include places for 2 members of staff free of charge, there will be an additional cost for more staff to cover camp costs etc. Contact us for more details
