Expedition Academy<br />
Launched this year after two successful years of Ten Tors training <strong>and</strong> participation. The<br />
Expedition Academy provides the opportunity for students from throughout the <strong>College</strong> to<br />
participate in Expedition Training, for both the Ten Tors Challenge <strong>and</strong> Duke of Edinburgh<br />
Award Scheme.<br />
The training will be at a st<strong>and</strong>ard enabling selection for the Ten Tors Challenge, <strong>and</strong><br />
participation in the Shelterbox Challenge (covering 30 miles in teams of four, on Dartmoor<br />
over two days). We have been very successful within both the Ten Tors <strong>and</strong> the Shelterbox<br />
Challenge over the past years, with teams completing the 45 <strong>and</strong> 55 mile Challenge <strong>and</strong><br />
finishing second out of 38 teams competing in the Shelterbox Challenge.<br />
Students are not required to have any previous navigation or expedition skills as theory <strong>and</strong><br />
practical training are given throughout the training year.<br />
