The Camping Leader is the new award from Mountain Training. It replaces the old Expedition Skills Module, and is aimed at those who want to supervise groups camping in organised campsites, farms, and in wild camping locations too (if they hold a walking award and are operating within the scope of their award).

The main differences between the Camping Leader and the old Expedition Skills Module are the Camping Leader involves an online training module, followed by an in-person, practical assessment. The assessment is one day in duration. The other main difference is that anybody can register and take part in the Camping Leader - there is no requirement to already hold a Mountain Training walking award to access this course. This makes it suitable for those who are involved in assisting in camps with groups, who may not necessarily get involved in supervising on walks.

To register for the Camping Leader, and to access the Course Handbook and the online training module, go to the link on the Mountain Training website here.

Monday 6th May. Bampton Village Hall. Cumbria.

Monday 30th September. Bampton Village Hall. Cumbria.

The registration fee, which is payable to Mountain Training, is £25. This gives you access to the online training module, the candidate handbook, and the digital logbook, DLOG.

Our course fees for 2023 and 2024 are £95. This is payable to us when you book your assessment.
