The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has picked some activities to help build confidence, independence and adaptability among youngsters.
Set yourself a physical challenge
Learn survival skills at Sani Resort on Greece’s Halkidiki coast. The activity is sponsored by the Bear Grylls Survival Academy. Lessons include ways of hiding outdoors, seeking routes, building boats and finding food in the wild.
Price: £33.50 per day, per person.
Spend time in nature
Head to Ecuador’s Mashpi Lodge to experience about 6,200 acres of cloud forest in an excellent reserve of this country, flying through the treetops on the Sky Bike and Dragonfly Canopy Gondola. The tour is guided by Mashpi’s team of local naturalist guides.
Price: £1,030 per room per night, including transfers (换乘) from Quito and all meals and guided activities within the reserve. Out-of-Ecuador tourists need to pay for flying.

Price: £6,000 a person.
