当春日的山风裹挟着细雨,当泥泞的山路考验着意志,一群少年用脚步丈量莫干山的脊梁,用合作点亮探索的星光。2025年3月14日至15日,来自康桥校区八年级与三林校区十年级的12名同学,在3位导师的带领下,以爱丁堡公爵奖的勇气与信念,完成了一场突破自我的远征。在这场名为“DofE AJ莫干山探险”的正式旅程中,他们用两天一夜的汗水与笑声,诠释了何为“成长即勋章”。 
【启程】以角色之名,赴团队之约

“前方陡坡,路上有车,注意安全!”

“领航员报方位,观察员记录植被特征!”

——这不是电影片段,而是莫干山密林中真实的协作场景。

两支探险小分队,每人有不同角色:队长统筹全局、领航员执掌方向、安全员守护每一步、装备员负重前行……每个人都是团队不可或缺的齿轮。 

“练习旅程时,我们总想抢着做最‘酷’的任务;但这次,大家开始懂得‘适合’比‘想要’更重要。”一位队员在复盘会中说到。有人擅长识图却恐高,便主动让出领航位;有人体力充沛但方向感弱,便默默扛起公共物资。角色分工不再是简单的任务分配,而成为一场对自我与他人的重新认知。

【征途】雨雾作伴,步履为诗 

正式AJ探险旅程,因一场不期而遇的冷雨陡增难度。陡峭的泥径被雨水冲刷得泛着冷光,背包因背负帐篷与炊具而愈发沉重,但少年们的脚步却始终向前,不轻言放弃。

以探究为灯,丈量山河

他们并非单纯的徒步者,而是带着课题的探索者:一组穿梭于莫干山民国别墅群,用眼睛和相机记录山中建筑的特色;另一组在竹海深处驻足,观察山中的不同植物。雨水打湿手中的杖,却浇不灭眼中求知的光。

以温暖为伞,共赴崎岖

“拉住我的手!”

“我的防水外套给你!”

险峻处,总有一双手及时伸出;休息时,补充能量的食物在小组间传递。当装备员背负重物还去照顾组内有需要的同学帮忙整理装备,当“烹饪小白”被队友手把手教着点燃炉头,这场雨中的跋涉,早已超越了体能挑战,成为心灵相通的课堂。

【星夜】 篝火不灭,成长有声

当夜幕笼罩营地,真正的“探险”才刚刚开始。搭帐篷的默契已无需多言,雨中帐篷里的“荒野盛宴”甚至飘出家的香气。而最动人的,是围坐在帐篷里灯下的复盘会:


“谢谢你今天一直走在队尾确保没人掉队。” 

“感恩你在路上给我补充能量的美味饭团”

“感谢你作为我们组的领航担当指引方向。” 


没有客套与掩饰,只有真诚的赞美与务实的反思。正如随行导师所言:“他们开始懂得——优秀的团队不是不犯错,而是永远比昨天更智慧。”

【终章】 勋章在泥泞中闪耀


两日跋涉15公里的崎岖山路,12名少年全员完成挑战。归程大巴上,有人靠着车窗沉沉睡去,掌心的茧与裤脚的泥泞,成为此刻最骄傲的勋章。 

爱丁堡公爵奖的徽章或许尚未别上衣襟,但那些深植于心的收获早已生根: 

他们学会了“真正的领”,导力是让每个人闪光”,他们懂得了“困境中的坚持不是咬牙硬撑,而是彼此托举他们更发现“世界的答案不在书本里,而在风雨兼程的路上”。 

正如莫干山的云雾终将散去,而少年们在此播下的勇气、智慧与爱的种子,必将穿越更多人生雨季,绽放出属于自己的绚烂春华。


后记:对两个队长的采访
1
AJ期间遇到了哪一些困难与挑战?

Tiffany ZHANG :我们组一共有七位组员,分别是Therron姚斯缘, Elizabeth任熠蕾,Daisy 胡小溪, Lingling贾玥灵,Chloe恽钰珹,  Kingsley 还有我。首先是在第一天徒步中,我们遭遇了蛮恶劣的天气,在走山路时下起了大雨,我们走的那条路都是土,下雨变得很滑很滑再加上有上坡下坡,行动非常困难,好在最后我们都平安的到达了露营点。

第二,这次旅程的路线大部分都是在山里,有很多分岔路,我们走错了很多次,队里难免发生了一些争吵和埋怨,不过还好,我们最后都察觉到了这负面情绪开始互相鼓励。

Mario XUE:我们组一共有五位组员,分别是Angel刘栩泠,Bob赵光年,Cythina,Shirley还有我。自己带的食物相对的不多,每次吃饭时需要谨慎的衡量每一顿的食用量,避免导致吃了上顿没下顿。我的团队在徒步期间有几次不确定具体方向和路线,我们通过询问当地的村民获得了大致路线。

在参加DofE 正式AJ的过程中你习获了什么?

Tiffany ZHANG:收获颇为丰硕,一方面是生活技巧,这次旅程中我学会了如何去使用指北针和地图来判断我们的所在位置,学会了如何去搭帐篷和去使用器具。另一方面的是在团队合作和领导能力上面,这次旅程中我身为队长需要及时关注队员的情况,在出现一定情况时做出正确的对策,让团队有一个良好的氛围。我也深刻领悟到有效沟通、合理决策与真诚鼓励,是凝聚团队、激发潜力的关键密码 ,这也为我未来承担更重责任、迎接更大挑战的筑牢根基。

Mario XUE:在正式的AJ中我收获到了一些在野外的徒步知识,比如如何利用地图估算一段路程的距离,如何正式的报道自己在地图上的确切位置,重温指南针的使用等。

 同学们在AJ中的表现与在学校时有什么不同?

Tiffany ZHANG :在DofE AJ的这段经历,就像一面独特的镜子,照出同学们与在学校截然不同的状态。在学校按部就班的节奏里,大家大多隐藏在规则和日常的框架中。可到了AJ,面对未知的挑战与新鲜的环境,每个人都被激发出了别样的能量。

这次旅程是真的让我对我们组里很多人刷新了新的认知,他们很多人比我想象中的还要勇敢,还要坚韧不拔。面对艰难的环境,没有一个人打退堂鼓,哪怕资源有限、时间紧迫,大家依旧齐心协力。比如Elizabeth,她这次算是我们团队中包袱比较重的了,背了我们组的两个锅,尽管她知道自己体力不太好,还是咬牙坚持了下来,没有任何抱怨。比如Therron,虽然偶尔会做一些搞笑的事,在队里经常被我们打趣但还是会带领我们去到正确的方向,帮我们洗锅烧水。 

From March 14-15, twelve students from Grade 8 at Kangqiao Campus and Grade 10 at Sanlin Campus embarked on their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) AJ expedition—a journey of courage, resilience, and self-discovery. Under the guidance of three mentors, they took on a two-day, one-night challenge where teamwork was not just an option but a necessity. 

[Setting Out]Stepping Into Our Roles, Stepping Into Teamwork 


"Steep slope ahead, watch out for traffic!"

"Navigator, report direction! Observer, record plant characteristics!"

These weren’t scenes from a movie but real moments of teamwork deep in the forests of Moganshan. 

Each team member took on a role—leader, navigator, safety officer, quartermaster—each cog in the machine essential to keep the expedition running. “During training, we all wanted the ‘coolest’ jobs. But out here, we realized that ‘suitability’ matters more than ‘desire,’” reflected one student. Some who excelled at map reading but feared heights stepped aside for others to lead the way, while those with physical endurance but poor direction took up the heaviest loads. It wasn’t just a division of tasks—it was a lesson in knowing oneself and trusting others. 

[ The Journey ] Poetry in Every Step, Rain as Our Companion  


The challenge intensified with an unexpected downpour, turning the steep trails into glistening, slippery paths. Backpacks grew heavier under the weight of tents and cooking gear, yet the students pressed on, undeterred. 

With Curiosity as Our Compass, We Chart the Unknown


But they were not just hikers; they were explorers with a purpose. One group ventured into Moganshan’s historic villas, documenting the unique architectural styles with cameras and keen eyes. Another team trekked through the bamboo forests, identifying various plant species along the way. Though the rain soaked their gear, the light of curiosity never dimmed in their eyes. 

Finding Warmth in the Rain, 
Facing Challenges Together 


"Hold my hand!"

"Take my waterproof jacket!"

In moments of difficulty, a helping hand was always there. During breaks, snacks were passed around, shared without hesitation. When the quartermaster, already carrying heavy loads, took extra time to help a teammate pack their gear, or when a self-proclaimed "cooking novice" was guided step-by-step to light the stove, the journey became more than just a physical challenge—it became a classroom for the heart. 

[ A Night Under the Stars ] 

Fireside Reflections and Quiet Growth 


As night fell over the campsite, the real adventure was just beginning. Tent-pitching became second nature, and in the midst of the rain, a warm meal felt like home. But the most memorable moment came during the evening reflection session, as students expressed gratitude for their teammates: 


"Thank you for staying at the back to make sure no one was left behind." 

"I really appreciated the rice ball you shared with me—it kept me going." 

"You were an amazing navigator today, always leading us in the right direction." 


There was no need for formalities—just genuine appreciation and thoughtful reflections. As one mentor put it: “A great team isn’t one that never makes mistakes, but one that grows wiser with every challenge.” 

[ The Final Chapter: ] 

Medals Shine Brightest in the Mud 


Over two days, through 15 kilometers of rugged terrain, every student completed the challenge. As the return bus hummed along the road, some students dozed off by the window, their hands roughened with blisters, their pants streaked with mud—their most hard-earned medals yet. 

The official Duke of Edinburgh’s Award medal may not yet be pinned to their shirts, but the lessons they have embedded in their hearts will stay with them forever: 

  • “True leadership is about helping everyone shine.” 

  • “Endurance isn’t just gritting your teeth—it’s lifting each other up.” 

  • “The answers to life’s challenges aren’t just in books, but in the roads we walk, the storms we face, and the moments we share.” 

The mist over Moganshan will clear, but the courage, wisdom, and friendships forged in this journey will bloom for years to come.

 Interviews with the Team Leaders 

1
What were the biggest challenges during the AJ expedition? 

Tiffany ZHANG:“We have seven members in our team, Therron, Elizabeth, Daisy, Lingling, Chloe, Kingsley and me. The first day was tough—the rain made the trails dangerously slippery, and the steep slopes became even harder to navigate. But in the end, we all made it safely to our campsite. Another challenge was navigation. With so many unmarked paths in the mountains, we got lost multiple times. There were moments of frustration and disagreements, but we recognized them and worked together to stay positive.” 

Mario XUE:“We have five members in our team,Angel,Bob,Cythina,Shirley and me. Rationing food was another challenge. Since I didn’t pack a lot, I had to be really careful about my portions. And like Tiffany mentioned, we sometimes struggled with directions, but we found a way—by asking local villagers for guidance.”

What did you learn from this official DofE AJ experience? 

Tiffany Zhang: “So much! First, practical survival skills—how to use a compass and map, how to set up a tent, and how to cook outdoors. But beyond that, I learned a lot about teamwork and leadership. As a team leader, I had to stay aware of everyone’s condition and make decisions that benefited the whole group. I also realized that good communication, thoughtful decision-making, and genuine encouragement are key to building a strong team. This experience has definitely prepared me to take on bigger challenges in the future.” 

Mario Xue: “I gained valuable hiking skills—like estimating distances on a map and properly using a compass. It was a great reminder that learning isn’t just about theory, but about applying knowledge in real situations.”

What did you learn from this official DofE AJ experience? 

Tiffany Zhang: “The DofE AJ experience was like a mirror, showing us a side of each other that we don’t usually see in school. In our structured academic environment, we follow a set routine. But out in the wild, facing unknown challenges, everyone showed a different kind of energy and strength.” 

"For example, Elizabeth carried two heavy pots for our group even though she knew she wasn’t the strongest physically—but she never complained. Therron, who’s usually the class clown, stepped up when it mattered most, leading us in the right direction and making sure we always had clean water. Seeing these sides of my teammates was truly inspiring."
