“Never in my life have I thought I would go on overnight camping trips and cook dinner in a stove with my friends, but since participating in the Duke of Edinburgh award, it has challenged me to participate in numerous activities that I wouldn’t have pursued otherwise and overall, shaped me into a more well-rounded person.” - Eva L.
“My DoE experience has been memorable, especially the Silver Adventurous Journey, which I planned and completed with a group of friends during the summer.” - Hugh G.
“Receiving this award means a lot because it's part of a prestigious organization. I also really enjoy it because it gives me an opportunity to do things I wouldn't normally get to do and it helps me bond with my peers.” - Mackenzie H.
“This award is a symbol of my hard work and well-roundedness. It's been a difficult experience, especially coordinating a camping trip, but overall it was really rewarding and fun. Next, I hope to pursue my gold-level award!” - Sarayu N.
“I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to work toward this award. It provided me the opportunity to spend time on things I enjoy but also challenge myself with tasks like the adventurous journey.” - Kaylyn B.
“I feel very accomplished and more well-rounded to have achieved this award as it has provided me with real-life skills and experiences. I think that from this experience, I have been able to connect with more people in mentoring positions for the activities I like to do. I liked having goals for my activities that I could work on to continue to get better. For my Bronze, I learned to play hockey and use a digital camera, and for my Silver, I am working on different artistic service projects, including helping to paint the sets for the middle school play.” - Ainsley M.
