Please note that the costs and sponsorship levels listed on our website are based on a minimum of 17 participants on the challenge. We can run this trip with groups of 10-16 people, but there will be a small group supplement of $125.

If a small group supplement is necessary, we will notify you 12 weeks before departure.

Note: All prices in CAD.

There are a number of ways in which you can fund the challenge. Below are the options available:

self funder

The full cost of this challenge is $2,650. You will be required to pay the deposit of $650 at the time of booking and the final balance of $2,000 which is due eight weeks before departure (Feb 20, 2021). You will receive fundraising advice and sponsorship forms and be asked to raise as much as you can for the charity with a minimum of at least $2,500. As you have covered the full cost of the challenge, 100% of this fundraising will be retained by the charity.

flexi

You will be required to pay the deposit of $650 at the time of booking, and 8 weeks before departure (Feb 20, 2021) you will be required to pay a second contribution of $1,000 towards your challenge costs. You will also need to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship, $4,000 for Cuso International. You should send your sponsorship money to the charity as you raise it. At least 80% of the minimum sponsorship required ($3,200) must be sent to the charity ten weeks before departure (by Feb 06, 2021), and the remaining 20% ($800) within four weeks of completing the challenge (by May 23, 2021) unless stated otherwise by your chosen charity. In these circumstances charity’s sponsorship deadlines will override our standard terms. If you have raised the necessary funds, the charity will then pay the balance of your expedition costs (which will not exceed 25% of the minimum sponsorship target). The charity benefits by keeping the remaining sponsorship money (which will be at least 75% of the minimum sponsorship) and every dollar over and above that you raise.
