Hiring a supervisor for your Duke of Edinburgh's Award group

If you need a supervisor for your Duke of Edinburgh's (DofE) Award group then Lupine Adventure can help out. We are extremely experienced in the kind of remote supervision required for Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition groups.

The role of the supervisor is very important on a DofE expedition. The supervisor is directly responsible for the safety of the participants. Once we are happy about the overall competence of a group, we undertake remote supervision to ensure that the group get the full experience of independence and achievement central to the expedition component of The Award. While we will always remain close when routes pass areas that we have identified as being possibly dangerous or navigation-ally difficult we will attempt to keep our contact to a minimum.

All our supervisors are experienced mountaineers who relish the opportunity to stretch their legs when the routes or weather demand it.

Before undertaking remote supervision we will need some time with your group. The amount of time will depend on the terrain that they are going to be walking in, the completeness of their training and the competence of the group themselves.

As a company Lupine Adventure Co-operative hold an Adventure Activities Licensing Authority licence. This License is requrired by law if your group is going to be wandering into areas more than 30 minutes from the nearest road. We are also Approved Activity Providers of the expedition section of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

If you would like to hire Lupine Adventure to supervise your group then please get in touch. Our standard day rate is £170 per member of staff per day. This covers their wages, accommodation, fuel and food.
