Surf camp
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.
What is it?
Adventure ireland surf camp is a fully supervised residential surf & adventure camp.
Based in Bundoran, Ireland's surf capital, Donegal Adventure Centre have
been providing activity holidays for teenagers from all over the world
for over a decade. Programmes run at mid-term breaks, Easter and all
through the summer. During the summer, campers can stay from one week to
4 weeks on surf camp.
What do we do ?
The Adventure Ireland Teen Surf Camp is indeed a surf camp for teenagers but we don't
think that does it justice. However we thought that "The DAC make new
friends from all over the world / Surfing / Climbing / Abseiling /
Kayaking / Cliff jumping / Day Trips / Night Line / Archery / Talent
Show / Zip Line / Canoeing & Much Much More Camp for Teens " was a bit
of a mouthful :)
Whats the schedule?
Surf Campers will surf at least once a day*. On the rare occasions that
there is no surf an alternative activity will be provided. The
surfcampers will also take part in a fun training programme to improve
your surfing including swim coaching, fitness training and lifeguarding.
The evenings are spent doing some of our other activities such as
abseiling, archery, talents shows & quizzes and trips to the cinema, fun
fair etc.
* Longer programmes include a couple of day trips as rest days.
Who is this for?
Adventure ireland SurfCamp is for Teens who are interested in outdoor sports, trying
new things and meeting lots of new friends. You don't have to be able to
surf or even be a strong
swimmer. All the lessons are done at the campers level- if you are an
absolute beginner we will teach you how to surf, climb and all the other
fun things we do. If you already surf, we will hone your skils and coach
you to be becoming a much better surfer- you can even bring your own
board if you want. You don't need to be super fit, just to be interested
in trying all these new things.
Whats included?
The fees for the surf camp incude all accommodation, food,
equipment,excursions and full 24 hour supervision. Campers only need to
bring money to use at our tuck shop, buy phone credit and sundries.
Wetsuits & boards are included but we strongly advise campers to bring
