Finland Expedition - July 2026
venture force - finland expedition - july 2026
We are excited to offer pupils the opportunity to be part of an unforgettable expedition to Finland in July 2026. The Avon Valley team will embark on a unique adventure, taking on both a canoeing and cycling challenge through Finland’s stunning wilderness. Students will paddle through serene lakes along the historic Tar canoe route, followed by a cycling journey through beautiful countryside, all while developing key skills for their future.
This expedition is more than just a physical challenge - it’s a valuable chance for personal growth. Pupils will gain confidence, resilience, and teamwork abilities, which will help them stand out when applying for jobs, apprenticeships, or further education opportunities. Alongside these skills, participants will create lasting memories in a supportive and adventurous environment.
The expedition will be led by Venture Force, a company with extensive experience in organising purposeful expeditions worldwide, ensuring the safety and success of every trip.
