Many young visitors here want to learn all about Ireland- the history
and culture, the stories behind the scenery. Many have already done some
study on Ireland, or know about it from family and friends. For those
that enjoy learning, Director Niamh Hamill and her team have put
together a superb program of informal lectures on a range of cultural
topics. These classes are integrated with field trips and travel to many
wonderful places, such as the
Hill of Tara, Galway City,
Cliffs of Moher, Killarney National Park and
Yeats Country.
This program will suit students who enjoy a classroom environment in the
mornings, and have an interest in learning about culture. This program
also includes some adventure activities, including surfing, climbing,
Gaelic Sports, and hiking. Students will mix with
Irish and European students each evening, and enjoy a great
international atmosphere.
Most U.S. students do the culture and adventure camp, and we highly
recommend it. The Adventure Camp works for sport-loving teens who do not
want to have to sit in a classroom for any length of time! We’re ok with
this, but usually, our adventure campers are coming back for a second
time, and have enjoyed the introduction to Irish studies first time
around. If in doubt, please take program 1.
2. The Adventure Camp:
For students who have had enough of the classroom all year, (or have
been with us before) the Adventure Camp offers a great experience of
Ireland, but with the emphasis on surfing and outdoor adventures. This
will suit sporty teenagers who want to enjoy the beauty and scenery of
Ireland by exploring it through outdoor activity and adventure.
All students will be offered the field trips and travel, but students
can choose also to do activity camp without any cultural travel or field
trips and concentrate on the surfing and climbing. You can talk to us
about what program suits best. No matter which program you choose, the
experience of living and enjoying Ireland for three weeks is awesome.
Who comes on this camp?
We seek out students who really want to experience travel abroad, and
will enjoy meeting other teenagers from different cultures and
backgrounds. The culture and adventure program is wonderful for students
who would enjoy some academic content. The adventure programs are
terrific for sporty teenagers, especially if they like surfing. We
welcome students travelling by themselves, and make a very special
effort to make sure that each student is happy and feels secure and
welcome. We keep in contact with parents through the booking process and
the programs, and we put up a daily blog each day so parents, family and
friends can tune in. We have no religious or political bias, we welcome
students from all backgrounds, the only pre-requisites being tolerance
of others and an interest in visiting Ireland.
