ASC: The Adventure Service Challenge

---

The Adventure Service Challenge is an award scheme offered at CI Adventures in Halifax, with activities being offered across the Calderdale district and further afield across the UK.

The ASC is for young people aged 8 to 14+ years. The activities are spread across the three sections of Adventure, Service and Challenge; offering leisure skills, discovery, exploration, skills for life, volunteering and helping others, in a fully comprehensive training programme.

The ASC is a programme of activity that can prepare young people for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The scheme promotes individual competition with participants competing against themselves, rather than others, to gain greater personal achievement. The scheme is generally directed at school and youth groups but can be a group put together by CI Adventures from a range of single individuals.

Accreditation:

There are two stages of the ASC; the junior stage for those of 8 to 11 years, and the senior stage for those of 11 to 14+ years; with 8 activities at each stage. On completion, a certificate for each stage is presented to each young person.

CI Adventures currently delivers ASC over a full school term or an 8 to 12 week period dependent upon school and youth group preferences. The sessions are between 1 & 3 hours duration and are individually tailored to provide outdoor adventurous activities to meet the requirements of your specific group. To ensure we can provide for all groups CI Adventures is in the process of creating a one week ASC programme to deliver in the school holidays, with a long term commitment to become an open awards centre by 2012.
