Stone Farm Study Centre School Trip

Choose from exciting days out at local activity centres which offer a range of activities, including high ropes, archery, abseiling, climbing and watersports such as kayaking, raft building and sailing.

FARM
Stone Farm offers supervised educational sessions with over 100 friendly farm animals. Your class will learn about animal habitats and behaviours and help with all aspects of their care including feeding, mucking out and grooming. Alongside the exciting and nurturing experience with our animals, we aim to help children develop an understanding of how farming fits into the wider world and experience how produce comes from farm to table. Onsite we have the vegetable garden to experience planting and harvesting, the orchard to pick fruit to make juice in our apple presses, and chickens to collect eggs from every morning. Every school will have a dedicated member of staff with them throughout the week to run your chosen activities.

Bring history to life for your children at Morwellham Quay, a restored 19th-century village set on the River Tamar. Visitors can explore the restored 19th-century village, the docks and quays, a restored ship, and the George and Charlotte copper mine which is toured by a small train, plus engage in many interactive and hands-on activities such as chocolate, bread and rope making, Victorian dress, Victorian school, panning for gold, mining for copper, blacksmithing, pottery, Morwell brewery and children's play area. Morwellham Quay staff provide guided tours and run interactive workshops designed to cover aspects of the National Curriculum across a range of subjects.

Marvel at the changing Physical Geography of the Devon countryside - enjoy a trip to the coast, a day walking on Dartmoor with experienced guides, or activities such as gorge scrambling, river walking or sailing in the local lakes and rivers.

We are within striking distance of the world famous Eden Project and Plymouth Aquarium, both who bring their wealth of experience in schools and environmental centres to create memorable learning experiences with workshops focused on conservation, sustainability, climate changes and biodiversity. Both venues offer guided tours, a range of interactive workshops for pupils, and classroom space for lunch.

Stone Farm is ideally located for visits to both the Devon and Cornish coastline. Schools can book body boarding or surfing lessons, organise fossil workshops or simply enjoy a day on the beach for rockpooling, sandcastle competitions and beach art. We can also arrange talks with local RNLI lifeguards or a beach clean with a local conservation charity.

Stone Farm is centrally situated near many activity centres which offer a range of watersports including kayaking, canoeing, raft building, sailing, windsurfing and aqua parks. We are also close to both the Cornish and Devon coastline, where schools can book stand up paddle boarding, body boarding or surfing lessons with local surf schools.
