Environmental Discovery
Courses
An experience for life.
The Environmental Discovery courses run
by the YPTE are great value, and give schoolchildren an experience
which has been designed to be educational and enjoyable.
Courses are available most of
the year in the south of England.
The courses have been designed to be fun and educationally
valuable for years 4 to 8. They offer excellent tuition, a
secure environment with experienced and attentive tutors,
and can make a valuable contribution to curriculum learning.
Our tutors are genuinely enthusiastic about
the natural world. That helps them create a unique experience
which can have a real and deep-rooted impact on attitudes,
interest and awareness.
Ideal locations
South
The YPTE Environmental Discovery Courses
are based in Somerset and Dorset -
ideal locations for field studies, with a wide variety of habitats
within easy reach. Whatever time of year you visit thees magical
areas, there is always something dramatic to experience.
North
Since 2003, we've also been running courses
based in Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria – near the sea
and on the edge of the spectacular Lake District. Our Lake
District courses are based around the water cycle, and explore
the ecology of rivers from the source to the sea, and the
natural beauty of the lakes themselves. Habitats encountered
include streams, rivers, mountains, lakes, islands, sand dunes
and sandy beaches.
Young People's Trust for the Environment
and Nature Conservation
YPTENC has been running environmental courses
for the last 25 years, and its staff have a great deal of
experience in running highly successful and effective environmental
teaching programmes.
Safe, secure and exciting
Safety is obviously a key priority
for any provider of residential courses for children.
We have 25 years of experience in providing courses
which are busy, challenging, exciting and fun, and we
expect the same demanding standards from our bases in
Cumbria and the South.
Safety procedures are built into everything
we do.
