The Camping Leader qualification is for people who wish to supervise a camping group and develop participants’ camping proficiency by teaching campcraft activities.
A qualified Camping Leader can operate in various campsites, all with vehicle access, including land with no facilities and commercial campsites offering a range of facilities. A qualified Camping Leader who also holds a Mountain Training walking leadership qualification can operate in terrain within the scope of that scheme i.e. journey and wild camp.
The Camping Leader scheme is ideal for those involved with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, President’s Award and/or Ten Tors training. The skills covered apply to groups using commercial campsites and wild camping.
Learn to supervise camping groups, teach campcraft activities and develop camping proficiency with this nationally recognised Camping Leader training course. Developed by renowned awarding body Mountain Training, this online training resource is an optional but recommended first step before completing the Camping Leader Assessment, a one-day course delivered by Mountainsandmoor.
The online Camping Leader training course covers all aspects of the Camping Leader syllabus, with engaging presentations, videos, and quizzes to facilitate learning. If you engage with all sections of the course, it should take around 4 hours to complete. You’re welcome to revisit the online training course as many times as you’d like before your assessment.
If you’re aged 17 or over, have some supervisory experience of overnight camping and a genuine interest in the supervision of groups then you just need to register on Mountain Training’s Candidate Management System and sign up for the Camping Leader scheme (this costs £20). Once registered, Mountain Training will send you the course link to complete in your own time.
