This course meets the residential requirement of the Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and offers a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself in a truly wild and adventurous environment. You’ll spend time outdoors, meet new people from different backgrounds, and develop new skills while taking part in an unforgettable residential experience.

You can get a real feel for what the course is like by watching our video from a previous project, the Anderton Gold Residential Project.

The course is led by experienced, highly qualified and enthusiastic outdoor professionals who are passionate about delivering high-quality adventures. It is based at the Anderton Centre and takes place both on site and in the surrounding area, with a strong focus on wilderness adventure. All activities are fully licensed under the Anderton Centre’s Adventurous Activities Licence, and the centre is an approved Gold Residential provider for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Each day is packed with up to nine hours of activity, giving you plenty of time to challenge yourself and make the most of your surroundings. The course is fully catered, and all campsite fees, access fees and transport during the course are included, along with the use of any specialist equipment needed for the activities.

Throughout the course, there are lots of opportunities to explore sustainability in the outdoors. You’ll learn about “leave no trace” principles and how we can all help look after these special environments so they can be enjoyed by future generations.

If you would like more information or have any questions, you’re very welcome to have a chat with our Chief DofE Instructor, Paul, who can be contacted at dofe@andertoncentre.co.uk
