Gold DofE residentials

A 'Residential' for Gold DofE is a 5 day, 4 night programme where you do activities with new people, away from home.

Your residential can have any focus or include any activities that you wish, as long as it meets the above criteria.

Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development offers DofE Gold programmes at three Surrey locations.

The centres are Thames Young Mariners, Henley Fort, and High Ashurst.

To book courses, use the links below. If you have any questions, email us at outdoor.learning@surreycc.gov.uk

Usually, we choose an assessor for each DofE Gold Residential around four weeks before it begins.
