You can do it

You don’t need to be a super hero to go on expedition. Most of our expeditions require a moderate level of fitness. Please refer to your school’s destination brief for more specific information about your expedition. You don’t need to have camped before or know one end of a rucksack from another. Our training programmes will teach you everything you need to know to be able to go on expedition.

As for the fundraising – a big question on your mind will be will I be able to raise the money to go on expedition? The question is – do you really, really want to go? If the answer is yes then in our experience any young person who puts their mind to it can raise the money to go.
