Adventures for uniformed groups
Taking a uniformed group away on an international adventure is a great experience for all involved. The many opportunities that these trips offer for boys and girls, young men and women and their leaders include the chance to gain confidence, learn leadership skills, volunteer, meet new people and become more independent.
From experience we know that as an adult leader, planning an international trip requires a significant commitment in terms of time and energy! The benefits of overseas travel are huge and we are fully committed to working alongside you, the unpaid volunteer to make it all happen for you, your leaders and your group.
WHAT CAN WE DO IN ICELAND?
How long have you got? Our adventures include winter and summer programmes for groups from 12 to 40+ in size, as well as more specific trips such as those for the Queen’s Guide.
Typically, you’d spend about 5 in Iceland based in the south of the country seeing the classic highlights of the Golden Circle, South Shore and Reykjavik and see the geyser ‘Strokkur’ and experience walking on a glacier in crampons. Longer trips have included a summer journey across the highlands, horse riding adventures and service projects.
What makes your adventure special however is the twist that we’ll encourage you to include to make a great trip into a wow adventure. Iceland has plenty of experiences and doable challenges to enjoy that you won’t get at home so something geothermal, icy, dark, underground or creative. Apart from understanding how planning your trips works, we also know how inventive leaders are when it comes to unusual themes and challenges for trips abroad.
WHAT ABOUT ACCOMMODATION AND TRAVEL?
You can rely on being warm, comfortable, safe and well fed during your stay. Where you stay depends on what you want to do, your group and the time of year. You may prefer to unpack only once, contrast a stay in Reykjavik with time in the countryside or perhaps spend a night under canvas.
As far as travelling is concerned, we’ll suggest a range of options to fit with your choice of programme, group size and age and the time of year that you are in Iceland.
OUR PRIORITIES
Your safety comes first and, with that, full enjoyment for everyone involved. This means that we will take the time to find out about the expectations of the group, their abilities and their limitations. Within any group these will vary, so we ensure that each person is included and considered when discussing and planning the aims and challenges of the trip.
All activities are risk assessed in line with your own requirements. We welcome and are able to cater for a range of accessibility requirements, please ask us more about this so that we can offer as inclusive an adventure as possible.
