Take your outdoor skills to the next level with the Silver Duke of Edinburgh Adventurous Journey! This intermediate-level experience is designed to challenge participants to expand their capabilities and build on the skills learned during their Bronze journey.

The Silver Adventurous Journey includes two exciting components:

1. Practice Journey: A two-day adventure where participants refine their hiking, navigation, and campcraft skills in a fun and supportive environment.
2. Qualifying Journey: A three-day expedition where participants demonstrate their competence and teamwork as they paddle and camp in the stunning surroundings of Astotin Lake.

Throughout both journeys, participants will strengthen their leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, all while creating unforgettable memories with peers.

Upon registration, you’ll receive a comprehensive information package with everything you need to prepare, including gear lists, waivers, and access to our virtual preliminary meeting to cover journey essentials and answer questions.

Gear Note: Participants must bring personal gear, including tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, tarps, ropes, mess kits (utensils, bowls, cups), and camp stools. Ridge Wilderness Adventures provides all cooking equipment, group gear, and food.

Spaces are limited, so register early to secure your spot! For late registrations or inquiries, contact us at info@exploreridge.com or call (604) 477-4663.

Push your limits, embrace the challenge, and work towards achieving your Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award with Ridge Wilderness Adventures!
