Dorset Expeditionary Society

Non profit organisation whose aim is to foster the spirit of adventure in young people through active participation in outdoor activities.

EXPEDITIONS

The DES has an outstanding reputation as a not for profit provider of expeditions for young people.
Our expeditions represent a unique challenge, and provide testing situations for all participants. Expeditions last between two and five weeks and take place in remote locations across the globe, including the UK
Applicants, who come from all parts of the UK, are initially invited to attend a selection course. But this is only the starting point. To become part of a cohesive team every successful candidate participates in planning, preparation and training for the expedition. On a DES expedition the participants MUST take on some leadership responsibility before, during and after the trip.
