Outdoor and Adventurous Expeditions: Camp Routines Day 1 Group 3

Overview

Throughout history, expeditions have taken place involving travel, exploration and endeavour. Today, expeditions are an everyday part of many peoples’ lives, ranging from the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme and other expeditions aimed at personal development, through to gap years and more traditional adventures in distant parts of the world.

The unit explores expeditions, and their role in outdoor adventure. Learners need to be familiar with their history, their aims and their successes. Learners should also be familiar with celebrated expeditions which demonstrate teamwork, endeavour, humanity, leadership and tenacity. The learners are encouraged to reflect on the spirit of those expeditions by planning, participating in and reviewing the outdoor and adventurous expeditions they have experienced.

To undertake expeditions successfully, learners should are given the appropriate planning and practical knowledge and skills. Learners will have the opportunity to demonstrate their competence and proficiency using a wide range of practical expedition skills, as well as leadership and group supervision skills. They will undertake at least two expeditions, which will complement and build on any other expeditions they have undertaken in their programme of study or through a wider context of expedition participation.

This action will allow the learners to develop self-confidence, interpersonal skills and leadership skills in a safe learning environment. These skills will be developed through practical participation in planning, carrying out and evaluating day and multi-day expeditions.

The learners skills are enhanced and developed through completing day and multi-day expeditions, enhancing physical, social, spiritual, emotional and intellectual development.
