The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award
Completing your Adventurous Journeys with Camp Somerset
Somerset provides the opportunity for thousands of Duke of Ed participants to complete their Adventurous Journeys each year. Either on a School-Specific program or via our Open programs for individuals during school holidays.
We offer tent-based journeys from campsite to campsite across all Award levels: Hiking for Bronze, Pack & Paddle for Silver and Hiking for Gold!
Students are supported on their journey by our well-established infrastructure, our extensive support network and are accompanied by a qualified Group Leader for the entirety of the expedition. Students will be involved in a repack and gear check and will engage in necessary skills such as map reading and navigation, route planning and campcraft.
For further information, to register for an Open expedition, or to log in for your School's expedition please follow the links below.
