Residential courses

Environmental Discovery Courses

An experience for life.

The Environmental Discovery courses run by 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 young people aged 8-13. 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

The YPTE Environmental Discovery Courses are mainly based in Dorset (courses in Somerset are also available, but subject to different pricing).  We use residential centres set in ideal locations for field studies, with a wide variety of habitats within easy reach. Whatever time of year you visit these magical areas, there is always something dramatic to experience.

Young People's Trust for the Environment

YPTE has been running environmental courses for the last 28 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 28 years of experience in providing courses which are busy, challenging, exciting and fun.

Safety procedures are built into everything we do.
