Decisions & Planning:
The students plan, with the guidance of their dedicated Discover Adventure mentor and your school's nominated teacher, how their challenge will work. They will have responsibility for the organisation of their expedition and management of their budget. This phase develops invaluable skills in taking responsibility and team-building.

Raising Funds:
The cost of the expedition should be raised by the students. Our experience in this field allows us to offer many ideas and monitor your students' progress, but the overall responsibilty is that of the students themselves. Raising funds is an enriching experience which can teach many life skills, and requires commitment, planning and perseverance. This phase can involve the rest of the school, families and the wider community.

Team-Building:
School Challenges provide continuous team-building opportunities, but the ultimate exercise takes place on our customised training weekend, where we help the students to develop the necessary skills for their Expedition. Communication, team-building and outdoor skills (navigation, camp craft, etc) are vital elements of this.

School Participation:
The whole school can be involved in as much or as little of the planning and raising funds as it likes. All age groups will benefit from the special relevance and global awareness a personalised school project like this will bring to curricular subjects.
