Carymoor Discovery Award

We can offer our Carymoor Discovery Award to a class or small groups of upper KS2 students.

During four sessions on our site, children are given the opportunity to discover, explore and conserve the wild spaces at Carymoor, through a wide variety of activities . On completion of the Award, each student will receive a certificate to recognise their achievements.

In the first session we will introduce our Carymoor Award and show you around our site, explaining the landfill site and the Waste Transfer Station and the impact of waste on the environment.

Following sessions can be tailored to the needs of the group but may include orienteering, shelter building, wildlife discovery, map making, creative crafts using willow and natural resources and conservation tasks. There will also be some tasks set for extending learning at home including litter picking or volunteering in your local area, creating a map or poster of Carymoor, taking friends or family on a wildlife walk and record what was found or encouraging class members to take part in a waste free lunch.

Please contact us for more details and to check availability.

This award consists of 25 hours of education.  This will be 5 x 4 hour days at Carymoor with 5 hours learning at school or home.  This makes it perfect for a half term acvtivity.

We recommend groups of up to 12 students with 2 accompanying adults.

The Carymoor Award is is charged at £1,250 for between 5 and 12 children.

  • I just had to email you to thank you all for such a truly fabulous day. The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and perfectly prepared for all the activities. The children learnt a huge amount and could not stop talking about it on the way home - 'best trip ever' was repeatedly heard!

  • We have been coming to Carymoor for many years and they never disappoint. The staff are all incredibly friendly, accommodating and flexible. We have enjoyed a wide range of activities which are all carefully planned and resourced and, most importantly, loved by the children. Thank you Carymoor and we look forward to seeing you next year!

  • We had a superb day, Natalie was very accommodating with our timetable as we arrived late. We started with the hunter gatherer games to burn off some post coach energy. We loved dressing up and examining the artefacts. The children absolutely loved the quern stones, fire lighting and shelter building. Nothing but positive things to say. Staff and volunteers amazing - thank you.
