Welcome to Adventure Plus's online DofE payment page for our Open Gold Canoeing expedition happening in April 2024.

We are aware that this year the Easter Holidays vary more than usual around the country. If you would be interested in taking part but your holidays start w/c 25/3 then do let us know. If we get enough respondents we may be able to put on another expedition on the dates: March 25th-29th and April 1st-5th.

Adventure Plus are an Outdoor Education Youth Charity based in Clanfield, Oxfordshire. We have over 30 years experience of working with young people in the great outdoors! Do see our website for more information about us.

This page will enable you to pay for yourself or your child to do the expeditionary phase of the DofE award, as well as enabling us to collect some essential medical information and parental consents.

To confirm your place on the expedition you can either pay a deposit or choose to pay the full amount up front. If you do choose to pay a deposit, you will be contacted at a later date about making the balance payment.
