Adventure Ireland invite teens to join us in Ireland for Summer Camp.
We welcome high school kids of Irish background, or those just
interested in Irish Culture, an international experience, and a warm and
friendly camp, in a remarkably beautiful location. You will meet other
teens from all over the USA, Europe and Ireland. You will enjoy the very
best of care, teaching, instruction and friendliness of our staff here,
who have been running Summer Camp since 1996. Parents will enjoy plenty
of assistance with arranging travel, contacting past alumni & parents,
assurances about the high quality and integrity of Adventure Ireland,
easy and helpful information about all that will happen. This is a
wonderful and lifechanging experience for every camper, and
parents...warning! It may be their first trip to Ireland, but not their
last! And you will probably fall in love with Ireland too :)
We have two summer camps, one in July and one in August.
The July camp includes three weeks of cultural studies, Irish history &
language, music & arts, outdoor adventure, travel around Ireland,
meeting teens from all over the world, and enjoying the unique and
friendly atmosphere of Ireland. It will suit students who are interested
in some classroom work on Irish topics, including Irish History, Celtic
Ireland, St. Patrick, Famine and Emigration, Rebellion and Independence,
Irish Literature, Irish Music, Arts and Gaelic Sports. It will also
include some time spent in Dublin City and Southern Ireland, including
visits to The Burren, The Cliffs of Moher, Killarney National Park and
Connemara National Park. This program is happily integrated with fun
stuff too, including surfing (we are located in Ireland’s most famous
surf area), adventure activities, song & dance, cinema and
entertainment.
The August camp has less emphasis on cultural studies and more time
spent on outdoor activities especially surfing in Ireland. It will
appeal to students who are really interested in the unique experience of
surfing, climbing, kayaking & being very active while enjoying the
friendly culture in Ireland. The August camp is fully based in our
Donegal Campus.

Directors Niamh Hamill and Collie Mac Phaidin are winners of the Irish

on to take Irish Studies courses in College, many have returned many
times, and every single participant since 1996 has loved the experience.
We are experts at making sure that each individual feels safe, welcome
and interested in their experience. We are the only Irish summercamp
that is located and run by a full-time organisation that works with
teens all year round. We are the only Irish summercamp that is based
fully in Ireland, with Irish staff and teachers. We insist that we offer
an authentic and rich experience of Ireland, delivered by local experts,
teachers and leaders who live here.
