The adventure of a lifetime
A DofE Adventure Challenge is an adventurous journey which could completely change your outlook on life. Like participants in the DofE, you will be part of a team facing physical and mental challenges and experiencing things you will remember forever.
Your journey might take place on foot, on water, by bike or behind the wheel of a 4x4.
During the challenge you will be self sufficient, navigating your route, carrying your own kit and camping out in some of the world's most stunning and remote locations.
Whatever mode of transport your adventure takes, in whatever corner of the world, the journey will test you not only physically but also mentally. You and your team will travel many miles on varied terrain and complete logistical and survival challenges en route.
As a DofE adventurer you are committing yourself to our charity and helping to support young people across the UK from all walks of life.
Five great reasons to take part:
The challenges are carried out by experienced specialists with the highest levels of safety and professionalism.
