  • Why not change your life forever?
  • Visit places you never knew existed . . .
  • Do things you've only ever dreamed of . . .
  • See breathtaking scenery, wildlife, history . . .
  • Climb mountains, ride horses, cross rivers . . .
  • Experience life as you never thought you could.

If you're on the look out for some excitement, a challenge, a break from the old routine and a chance to see the world and experience new things, then take a look at the expeditions we offer. You'll be amazed.

Derbyshire Youth Exploration Group is a reputable, responsible organisation, which has been giving young adults the opportunity for personal growth and development through exploration since 1967.

All we ask is that you live in Derbyshire, go to school or college in the county, and you're able to raise the funds (with our support and ideas of course!).

Oh, and that you're ready for the time of your life . . .
