A summary
DSDT Unplugged Adventure 22nd – 25th Aug 2024 Canoeing the Wye Valley The DSDT Unplugged Adventure is an immersive journey though one of the most beautiful places in the country. Using open canoes to travel between campsites we will explore the river and its hidden gems. The experience includes canoe hire, guided river journey, campsite fees, some group meals and activities/ full support from DSDT staff throughout. Booking Bookings are on a first come first served basis for one DSDT young person with one compulsory parent/guardian. After this further family bookings can be made to fill leftover spaces. Spaces are limited so please do book early to avoid disappointment. Cost £50 per family deposit to secure a place on the trip. Option 1 Pay a further £550 per family with no fundraising. Option 2 Pay a further £250 per family and commit to raising £500 more before the trip. This can be through JustGiving or another site recognized by DSDT. Itinerary 22nd Aug– self-drive to Ross-on Wye for camping and evening games. 23rd Aug – begin the river journey from Ross to Kern Bridge then returning to the campsite for a well-earned meal. 24th Aug – continue the river trip from Kern Bridge to Biblins youth campsite, through some stunning scenery, rapids and spend an evening camping in bell tents, BBQing by the campfire in a truly beautiful place. 25th Aug – enjoy a DSDT breakfast and head home for a well-earned rest. “I have canoed this section of the river on numerous occasions, with a variety of groups at different times of the year. The lifelong memories that are made during the journey, have enriched so many lives and I’m excited to share the benefits of an unplugged adventure with the young people of DSDT.” Andy Hamilton

Cancellation Policy
No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
