Our Bronze Qualifying Trip offers action-packed days filled with exploration, navigation challenges, and outdoor skills development. This adventure takes you through picturesque landscapes and remote locations, providing the perfect setting for personal growth and achievement.

Day 1:
Start with a quick gear check to ensure everyone has what they need, with a particular focus on essential safety items. Dive into hands-on navigation exercises in the great outdoors. Learn the art of estimating timeframes and apply them practically. Participate in route planning sessions, making collective decisions as a group to prepare for the next day’s adventure.
Day 2:
Pack up and tidy your campsite before engaging in more navigation exercises and an invigorating hike. Bid farewell to your fellow adventurers and head back home with unforgettable memories.
