Not a camp — a journey

The UK South Coast Adventure Expedition is designed for teens who are ready for something more independent, challenging and meaningful than a traditional camp. This is a travel-based expedition that follows England’s dramatic southern coastline and encourages participants to step into a more mature, responsible role within a group.

The expedition experience

Over nine days, participants move through coastal landscapes, historic towns and natural landmarks. The journey itself is the experience — learning how to travel as a group, support one another and adapt to new environments.

What participants gain

• Confidence navigating unfamiliar places
• Stronger independence and decision-making skills
• Teamwork and leadership experience
• Resilience through physical and mental challenge

Adventure & exploration

The expedition combines coastal walking, outdoor challenges and exploration with reflection and group discussion. Evenings often focus on sharing experiences, planning ahead and strengthening group dynamics.

Supervision & support

Participants are supported throughout by experienced expedition leaders who guide the journey, manage logistics and ensure safety at all times. While the programme encourages independence, it is never unsupervised.

Accommodation

Accommodation is arranged along the route and selected for safety, comfort and suitability for group travel. The expedition format allows teens to experience a variety of environments while remaining fully supported.
