The inaugural Next Generation trek is for B’nai Mitzvah aged (Y7-9) students and parents. It challenges participants with an entry level trip to the Lakes, staying either under canvass or in hostel accommodation over Sukkoth 20-22 October 2024.

We start our journey learning about the Windermere Children with a visit to the Lake District Holocaust Museum, before crossing the lake and following the Beatrix Potter Trail.

20km self catered over two Sukkoth days under the stars – what’s not to like

There will be sessions on safety, hill skills, survival, and we will discuss the teenage story of the rehabilitation of the Terezin escapees in the same environment, and students will be encouraged to raise funds for a charity of their choice.

Prices from £99 to £199 depending on accommodation type.

All students to self-cater as part of the DofE regime

The Regenesis Next Generation pairs with DofE to provide like minded students a pathway from novice hill and moorland hikes, through the Silver and Gold Awards to ultimately complete the 90km Windermere Route in Prague at 6th Form level.

It is a programme designed to staircase students up to a level of personal resilience whilst visiting multiple Holocaust Education Assets and meeting guest speakers along the route.

Students from any DofE Centre can join the scheme. Our Leaders are of the highest and safest calibre ensuring that this unique educational experience stands out as perhaps one of the most purposeful DofE Award pathways possible.
