The Camping Leader qualification is a Mountain Training course and Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development is an approved provider.
The Camping Leader qualification is for people who wish to supervise a camping group and develop participants' camping proficiency by teaching camping activities.
A qualified camping leader can operate in a variety of campsites, all with vehicle access, including land with no facilities and commercial campsites offering a range of facilities. A qualified camping leader who also holds a Mountain Training Walking Leadership qualification can operate in terrain within the scope of that scheme. For example: journey and wild camp.
This scheme is ideal for those involved with the Duke of Edinburgh's award. The skills covered apply to groups using the commercial campsites as well as wild camping.
Before you book onto a Camping Leader assessment course, you must:
be 17 years old to register and at least 18 years old to attend the assessment
have personally undertaken and logged a minimum of five overnight camps, ideally in a variety of contexts.
have assisted with or overseen at least two group camps. If personal camping has only been undertaken when also supervising a group, then these two group camps can be part of the total submitted for personal camping. Some candidates may need to log only five overnight camps in total. Reflective comments must accompany the group supervision evidence
be familiar with the syllabus
be an experienced self-sufficient camper
have experience of the supervision of camping groups
have physically attended and completed (not online) a first aid course which involved at least one full day or eight hours of instruction and included an element of assessment.
