There are a couple of notable expenses over the year – At the start of the course there is a induction residential camp in the New Forest which acts as an ice-breaker as well as meeting criteria for several units. Towards the end of the year a trip to a local centre to meet outcomes from the outdoor pursuits unit. Combined, both trips will cost approximately £150.
