ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY DETAILS: Silver PADDLE ONLY Prac & Qual: 4 days / 3 nights
Silver Duke of Ed program will teach an intermediate level knowledge of camp craft, navigation and bush safety. A basic level of risk assessment and management will also be applied here. The goal by the end of the practice is they should be comfortable independently leading a small group with minimal supervision and qualifying students should show this level of confidence and be prepared to navigate their own route through the bush. The YouthAdvance Silver AJ takes participants in Pittwater – students will travel in and around Pittwater Basin as well as completing a short walk up to the beautiful Barrenjoey Lighthouse. With some challenging navigation and sections that will require teamwork, the participants will be rewarded with stunning views and enjoyable experiences over the five days. |
MEALS:Participants will need to bring ALL meals and snacks for the duration of the AJ. More information is available under the AJ resources section of your account which you can access when logged into our website. Day 1 | Lunch and Dinner In addition to the above, participants should also bring their own snacks and an emergency meal (eg. a freeze dried/dehydrated meal).

EQUIPMENT:Using appropriate gear is instrumental in ensuring that you have an enjoyable and comfortable experience – we cannot stress this enough. A link to the equipment list will be emailed to you ahead of the journey, but you can also find it here. In addition to the detailed list, key mandatory items participants need to bring, include:
Ensure you pack your equipment and gear into one large bag. You will be packing your equipment into your kayak ahead of commencing the journey on the water. You will then leave the empty larger bag in the YouthAdvance trailer while on the journey. While you will be supplied a dry bag, it is highly recommended that you ensure your gear is waterproofed in several smaller plastic or dry bags. We suggest bringing additional plastic bags. Please note that the above list of equipment is mandatory. As such, should a participant attend program without the required equipment that is in good condition and suitable for use, for safety reasons that participant will be sent home and will forfeit their fee. It is imperative that appropriate and safe equipment is brought to camp. |
