where we are...
Adventure Ireland is located at Donegal Adventure Campus in County
Donegal, Ireland. County Donegal is one of the most one of the most
historic, beautiful and scenic counties in the Republic. We are right
beside the beaches, with excellent surfing, sports and very friendly
people. We are in the town of Bundoran, which is famous for surfing and
for a traditional Irish welcome. There are shops and banks, a cinema and
bowling alley, a funfair and beautiful surf beaches just seconds from
our door. There are many beautiful places nearby, which we visit on our
tours.
The Adventure Campus is in the village of Bundoran, and our centre is
warm, comfortable and teen-friendly. The centre has free Wi-Fi and
internet access, TV’s and DVD screen. Rooms are shared between 2 -4
persons, and there is full supervision at all times. Rooms are en-suite
and students can request to stay with friends, if travelling together.
Students who opt for the culture & adventure program will stay in Dublin
city for one night, and will have a two-night trip to the southern
counties. Accommodation will be in hotels, and students are fully
supervised at all times. Visits will include King House in Boyle, Co.
Roscommon, Clonmacnoise Monastic Settlement, The Rock of Cashel, Cobh
Harbour in County Cork, Killarney National Park, The Burren, The Cliffs
of Moher and Galway City. Day trips will include the Yeats Grave at
Drumcliff, Glencar Waterfall, Ballyshannon Heritage Town and Sligo City.
There are three meals served each day: Breakfast of cereal, tea/coffee,
toast & fruit, a hot lunch, and a two-course dinner. Students also have
access to local stores, and can stock up on favourite snacks and
suppers.
There are church services available here to most denominations. We will
help arrange this for students if they wish to attend services.
Our administrators, Ciara and Trish will help you with getting flights
organised and making all of the arrangements. We will help you decide
which camps are best. We can also help you contact other parents who
have sent their children here before. We never give out student emails,
but if parents make contact, and agree, then it is up to them to allow
students to correspond.
We will send you detailed information about what to pack, and also
exactly how airport collections will work. We post a daily blog with
photos, video and details about each day on camp. We are happy to help
with arrangements if you are organising to visit yourself, or plan an
adult vacation at any time.
A word on Northern Ireland…. We are located in County Donegal, which is
in Southern Ireland. Since 1994, we have been blessed with a peaceful
and wonderful resolution of past troubles between North and South. There
are now no borders between Northern and Southern Ireland, and Irish
people travel very comfortably between both places.
