(This covers terrain up to and including DofE Silver level, but not Wild Country, for which an Advanced Certificate is required.) Accommodation is by camping, with tents to be provided by participants. The programme includes elements of training, as well as a continuous assessment throughout the weekend, and it covers all the elements of the Certificate.
