Virtual preliminary meeting –  June 23rd @ 7pm

Practice + Qualifying Journey combined @ Pitt Lake – July 1st – July 3rd

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards were created as a way for each participant to set individual goals for personal improvement and growth. As part of this award, there is an outdoor component for each of the three levels. A big part of what we do at Ridge Wilderness Adventures is getting people outside and empowered to achieve their personal goals. In saying this, the Duke of Edinburgh Award is a great fit, as it involves the outdoor empowerment and growth that we love to see. We offer adventures for all three levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, as well as Preliminary Training and Practice Journeys.

 **Registrations will close 1 week prior to the event! For registrations within one week of desired course, please contact our office at info@exploreridge.com or call (604)477-4663.

Virtual preliminary meeting –  Aug 22nd @ 7pm

Practice + Qualifying Journey Combined @ Pitt Lake – Aug 30th – Sept 1st

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards were created as a way for each participant to set individual goals for personal improvement and growth. As part of this award, there is an outdoor component for each of the three levels. A big part of what we do at Ridge Wilderness Adventures is getting people outside and empowered to achieve their personal goals. In saying this, the Duke of Edinburgh Award is a great fit, as it involves the outdoor empowerment and growth that we love to see. We offer adventures for all three levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, as well as Preliminary Training and Practice Journeys.

 **Registrations will close 1 week prior to the event! For registrations within one week of desired course, please contact our office at info@exploreridge.com or call (604)477-4663.
