Anyone who is struggling to find a gold DofE residential sign up to this course as this was the highlight to my summer and an experience I will not be forgetting.
Ellie Haden
Honestly, the whole experience was incredible. I was a bit worried about the transfer and pick up from the airport but it was all super smooth and easy to work out once I arrived. The house itself if incredible - When I signed up I only really expected to be doing cooking (which was incredible) but we also learned loads about being a ski season host, budgeting, and also got to explore the mountains doing rafting and high ropes. It was such a jam packed week getting to meet some lovely people and, of course, eating some delicious food!
