BPE offers expeditions to the country or continent of your choice. We run small numbers of school overseas trips every year, so that we can concentrate on quality experiences. Check out Where we go for destinations (opens in a new page)

Each expedition involves a trekking challenge and a community or science project and is tailor-made to the schools/colleges and students requirements. Each expedition involves an 18 month build-up with a qualified and experienced leader appointed right from the start. Expeditions can incorporate direct website updates and daily dispatches via satellite phone and PDA, so that students back at school can follow progress and link into the school curriculum.

• Leader allocated from the very beginning
  
• 3 training weekends
• Young Explorers Trust approval
• Group ownership of expedition
• Website updates from the field

The expedition build-up, training, execution and post expedition can incorporate the following awards:

• Duke of Edinburgh Awards
• Key Skills
• Enterprise and Enrichment

BPE staff will work alongside the school and students to raise the funds which in turn build partnerships with the community and local businesses.
