Duke of Edinburgh Gold Project: Wilderness First Aid Adventure

Dates: March 24th – 28th, 2025
Location: Stepping Stones Bible Camp, Deroche, BC

Take your Duke of Edinburgh Award journey to the next level with our immersive Gold Project experience! This five-day, four-night adventure is designed to broaden your skills, challenge your limits, and leave you with a sense of accomplishment while earning valuable certifications.

Hosted at Stepping Stones Bible Camp in Deroche, participants will be taking part in a 40-hour Wilderness First Aid course over the week. This intensive course includes Canadian Red Cross Wilderness First Aid with CPR C and AED certification, valid for three years, as well as a Standard First Aid certificate, recognized as an Intermediate First Aid equivalent—great for your résumé!

What’s Included:

• Accommodations: Bunk-style lodging for the full stay.
• Supervision: Your instructor will double as your on-site supervisor, staying with the group throughout the program.
• Training: Classes will take place outdoors in the elements, offering a real-world wilderness experience. Participants should dress for the weather.

What to Bring:
Participants will need to provide their own food for the week, with access to a fully equipped kitchen for meal preparation. Since this location is not within walking distance to any stores, it’s important to arrive fully prepared.

Schedule:
March 24th – 27th: 8:30 am – 6:00 pm
March 28th: 8:30 am – 3:00 pm
