Forest Adventure Becomes a DofE Approved Activity Provider


Forest Adventure DofE APP

Exciting news for schools and youth groups!

Forest Adventure, a premier outdoor activity provider in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, is now an official DofE Approved Activity Provider (AAP) for expeditions. This accreditation means Forest Adventure can now offer Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions, ensuring participants meet the DofE standards while developing essential outdoor skills.

With over 20 years of experience, Forest Adventure has built a strong reputation for delivering immersive outdoor experiences. Now, as a DofE AAP, they provide fully supported Bronze, Silver, and Gold expeditions, helping young people build resilience, teamwork, and confidence in the great outdoors.

Participants will explore the stunning Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, developing map reading, navigation, teamwork and resilience under the guidance of expert instructors. Tailored expedition packages are available for schools and youth groups, ensuring a safe, rewarding, and unforgettable adventure.

“We are proud to be part of the DofE scheme, and in the future, we will also be running walking and canoe expeditions in Wales, the Southwest, and the North West,” said Edward Perry of Forest Adventure.

 

Forest Adventure - not just DofE!

Beyond DofE expeditions, Forest Adventure offers a diverse range of outdoor activities for all walks of life, including:

  • Forest Bushcraft – Learn survival skills like fire-starting and shelter-building.
  • Rock Climbing & Abseiling – Conquer challenges and descend with confidence.
  • Canoeing & Kayaking – Paddle through the scenic Wye River.
  • Caving & Orienteering – Explore underground wonders and master navigation skills.
  • Archery, Raft Building, & Team Challenges – Perfect for leadership and problem-solving.

With options ranging from three-hour sessions to seven-day residentials, Forest Adventure provides customised outdoor experiences to suit everyone. Plus, their accommodation at Biblins Campsite offers the perfect base for multi-day expeditions.

Forest Adventure now offers weekly school activity packages designed to support wellbeing, personal development and pastoral care through engaging outdoor experiences.
