Eduscapes: Tailored Adventure Days That Grow With Your Child
At EduSports, we believe real adventures create real growth. Our Eduscapes experiences give young people the opportunity to build memories, confidence, and independence, through carefully designed, age-appropriate expeditions that balance fun, challenge, and personal development.
From canoeing in Bedford and powerboating courses to walking expeditions and sailing in Milton Keynes, every Eduscape is a unique blend of water sports and outdoor challenges, fully tailored to the group’s preferences and abilities. Your child and their group can shape their own journey, choosing the activities that excite them most, whether that’s a focused skill-building session or a mix of different outdoor pursuits.
We offer three progressive expedition levels:
Beginner – A gentle introduction to adventure and outdoor activity
Advanced – For young explorers ready to take on more independence and challenge
Elite – A demanding yet rewarding experience for those who thrive outdoors
Our Eduscapes are perfect for school groups, youth organisations, or families seeking meaningful adventure days in the UK. We’ll handle all the planning, your child brings the energy, and we’ll deliver the adventure.

Duke of Edinburgh's Award: Bedfordshire's DofE Open Award Centre run by Edusports
Edusports is the Open Award Centre for Bedfordshire. What does this mean?
Essentially, we are licensed by the DofE to deliver the DofE Awards including expeditions and the different sections. The main criteria to be able to register with us is that you live in Bedfordshire. If, you live outside of this county, there are other open awards centres that can help you too.
3 Levels
We are able to help register you for all 3 levels. Before you sign up and commit to your award, we will have a discussion with you about which award is the best suited for you.
At each level, you will need to do 4 sections (5 for Gold) and these have certain time scales attached to them. As you progress through each level, the timescales get longer and the level should get harder, so it is a challenge, encouraging you to come out of your comfort zone. These consist of :
- Volunteering
- Skills
- Physical
- Expedition
- Residential (Gold only).
To register for your Bronze Award, you must be in Year 9 or above. For Silver, Year 10 or above. For Gold, you must be 16 years. All awards must be completed by the age of 25.
Edusports Delivery
Once you've decided to commit and signed up via us, we will register you for your Award. The current cost to register with us is £90.00 per person. This cost is made up of £37.50 for Gold awards and £30.50 for Bronze / Silver which goes straight to the DofE Awarding Organisation to register you for your place. The rest goes towards our license fee and towards some of the time for administration helping you to complete your award.
Once your team decides on the mode of travel for your expedition, we will then be able to work out a cost for your expedition as this is all down to you and your team to decide. Where do you go? How do you travel? We always try to be as cost-efficient as possible. The modes of travel which we can currently within Edusports are:
- Walking
- Mountain biking / cycling
- Sailing
- Paddlesport
You'll meet online with your Group Leader once a half term and then equally for your practice expedition and qualifying expedition as well as any other training days as required.
