You can complete your DofE Gold Residential at Woodlarks and, at the same time, gain life skills, enhance your CV and do something awesome that really makes a difference.
This opportunity is ideal for someone aiming to enter nursing, caring, medical, or teaching professions, amongst others. You will learn that ability is far more important than disability – and that we all have abilities.
If you would like to join one of our activity-based camps as the residential element of your Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, please look at our list of camps and contact the Camp Leader directly. No need to contact Woodlarks, as each Camp Leader will know what places are available.
Come along and join the fun!
