ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY DETAILS: Silver Prac or Qual: 3 days / 2 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 into Yengo National Park, north of Sydney NSW. Based out of a central campground, students will have a range of route and rogaine paths to explore. There is lots of challenging terrain all amongst beautiful Aussie bushland that will yield stunning views of the surrounding area. |
MEALS:Participants will need to bring ALL meals and snacks for the duration of the three day, two night AJ. More information is available under the resources section of your YA Portal account which you can access when logged into our website. Day 1 | Lunch and Dinner
