Duke of Edinburgh Award

Help with training & assessing for the International Award

We want to make your job as a DofE leader as easy as possible. Our qualified and experienced staff can deliver the Expedition section for your group from A to Z.

3E Outdoors is an exclusive training provider for DofE Adventurous Journey Training in the Czech Republic.

 

The Expedition section involves a lot of planning, training for and completing an unaccompanied and self-reliant expedition. We offer support to schools, groups and individuals who are undertaking this challenging award. Whether your students choose to walk, cycle or canoe we will design and deliver a perfect training and practise expedition to prepare them for their Qualifying Expedition.

Expedition Areas

We will work with you to choose a suitable location for your group. Whether you are looking for something in your local area, or you want to visit a new and more adventurous location in your country or abroad, we can help.

Our base is just outside the Šumava National park which is together with the neighbouring Bavarian Forest  the longest stretch of National Park and continuous forest in Central Europe. This wild heart of Europe is an ideal venue for Bronze and Silver Expeditions.

We also have an great knowledge of other expedition areas across the Czech Republic, and have delivered expeditions in Slavkovský les and Český ráj.
