Want to organise something exciting for your students expedition? Hill Climb’s experienced instructors can help your group train for, plan and execute a phenomenal expedition. Empowering students to undertake something different from the standard 2 day hike makes them stand out from the average DofE participant.
The Expedition Phase...
The area we operate in is Koh Chang Marine National Park. It’s a fantastic place for beginners to learn to sea kayak as the sea is relatively calm, has minimal tidal movement, fantastic snorkeling and superb beaches. The area lends itself very well to 2-8 day DofE expeditions in and around the tropical islands.
Our Role...
Responsibility for the enjoyment, safety and security of your students on expedition is our priority. We match your team up with a British in-country agent who has a wide experience of living and working in Thailand who will travel with you at all times. Our instructors can also double up as assessors whilst on the expedition.
The Accommodation...
There are various accommodation options available to your students in Thailand. These range from camping in hammocks to luxury 5 star resorts. We can assist you in booking accommodation that suits the budget of your students.
Volunteering...
Thailand offers volunteering experiences that you just wouldn’t find in the UK. On Koh Chang (where we are based) you can offer your services at animal shelters, schools for refugee children, reef restoration projects and we also have links with international Schools in Bangkok, suitable for cultural exchanges. This adds a fantastic dimension to your expedition.
The Benefits...
Taking part in a KayakChang.com expedition gives your students the chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Not only is it a change to experience challenging new activities, fascinating cultures and diverse environments, their participation on an overseas expedition will enhance their CV, improve their chances of securing a place at university and would be a fantastic way to prepare them for GAP year travel.
The Price...
Because of the relatively cheap cost of living and travel in Thailand you may be surprised just how cheap the expedition can be per head. If correctly budgeted the expedition costs can easily be covered by some creative fundraising and saving by your students.
