Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition

Anglesey | Cheshire

As an Expedition Approved Activity Provider (AAP), Conway Centres have been successfully delivering Duke of Edinburgh expeditions to schools for over 20 years. The most popular way to complete the expedition section is on foot. Whether it is spending time navigating your way through the Hills & Plains of Cheshire, the Wirral way, the Peak District, Snowdonia National Park or on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey – your young people will be supported to achieve their Bronze, Silver or Gold Award. Our staff are highly qualified Duke of Edinburgh assessors who hold the relevant qualifications, they will support you from the moment you enquire through to when you are back in the classroom.

Camping will take place either at one of our residential centres or a partner venue with all camping and cooking equipment provided within the cost. Are you thinking of running canoe expeditions too? Let our team know who can provide more information!
