John Muir Award

Want to explore wild places, learn new skills, and have some fun along the way?

Then the John Muir Award on the Quantocks may be just what your family are looking for this summer!

What will happen during the week?

We have a great programme of exciting hands on activities planned including fossil hunting, den building, stream dipping, moth traping and much more. Each day we will meet in a different area of the Quantocks to discover everything about this amazing place. On Friday evening we will have a barbque and night walk followed by an optional overnight camp at a local campsite.

What is the John Muir Award

The John Muir award is a nationally recognised environmental award promoting an awareness and apprecaition of wild places. It is made up of 4 challenges and takes 4 days to complete. By the end of the week  you will have completed all four challenges and achieved your award. Check out www.jmt.org to find out more.
