How to apply to be part of the expedition

You have to be aged between 15 and 25 years by 19 July 2012.

Go to www.leadingedge.org.uk/expeditions and look for the Canada expedition

You can download a pdf will full details plus an application form.  Fill this out and return it to Mark Salmon the expedition leader.  If you have any general questions please contact the Leading Edge Expeditions office on 01305 777277 or email admin@leadingedge.org.uk

The expedition leader will be happy to speak to you or any parents direct should you have any queries about the expedition.  His email is mark@leadingedge.org.uk or his contact number is on the full details pdf.

Funding is often an issue with young people but you should not be discouraged from applying.  The only hurdle is the selection weekend and once you have successfully completed this, we will ask whether you want to commit to the expedition.  Expedition members raise money in different ways, asking for sponsors, part time jobs, fundraising activities, asking for money for birthday/christmas instead of a present. 
We will work as a group to help raise funds but you will need to be proactive too (we won't do it all for you!)

By far the hardest part in all this process is deciding you are actually going to take part; once you have decided this everything else will fall into place.  Testimonials from previous expedition participants.
