Adventure Ireland Semester

The Program is made up of three strands:
Outdoor Instructor + Internship + Culture
You are going to train as an outdoor instructor: You will surf, climb, paddle and skate: you’ll train to become a fully qualified beach lifeguard, a surf coach and you will learn the skills to teach these sports to children and teenagers.
You will do courses in Child Protection, First Aid, training in leadership skills and outdoor recreation, training in kayak, canoe, climbing and other outdoor pursuits and you will gain experience in being part of a busy outdoor surf school and Adventure Centre.
Three days per week, the focus is on outdoor activities such as surfing, canoeing, climbing, kayaking & skateboarding.
We also want you to learn more about Ireland. One day a week, you will participate in cultural, historical and Gaelic workshops, learning and visiting places of historical & cultural interest. If you have specific areas of interest in Irish history, language, music, culture, we will assist you to research in this area.
One day a week, you will work as an intern in a local business.
This is to help you get involved with local life, and lose your ‘tourist’ identity.
Your weekends are free to enjoy Donegal, or travel to other parts of Ireland or Europe.
