🇮🇪 Summer Camps

Summer camps in Ireland

Irish summers are green, fresh and full of life. Our camps combine English in the morning with sport and adventure in the afternoon, at boarding schools with film-set facilities or with families who truly open their homes.

A summer that tastes like adventure

Some children come back from Ireland with better English. All of them come back with something more important: the certainty that they can. Packing a bag, sleeping away, making themselves understood, winning a match with French and Italian teammates — no academy at home teaches that.

Our Irish camps come in two flavours: residential camps at historic boarding schools — those “Harry Potter style” campuses, as the kids say — with English lessons in the morning and multi-activity or sport in the afternoon; and family immersion, living with an Irish family, their routines, their teatimes and their weekend plans.

Chosen one by one

I don’t work with a catalogue of a hundred camps: I work with the ones I know, have visited, or that my families have tested — the same ones I choose for my own children. Facilities matter, but I look above all at how they care for the kids: monitor ratios, how they handle homesickness in the first days, how they mix nationalities.

Ready for the next step? The natural follow-up is a term or school year in Ireland. Different summer style? Try the UK or Malta.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

From what age can my child attend?

Residential camps from age 8, though the typical range is 10-16. Younger children go to camps with smaller groups and extra care; older teens get more autonomy and age-appropriate activities.

Do they fly alone?

They can use the airline's unaccompanied-minor service or travel on escorted dates. Airport pickup is always arranged by the camp. I set up the full travel plan with you.

How many Spanish speakers will there be?

The key question — and the reason I select camps personally: I work with programmes that cap nationalities and mix groups in activities and rooms.

What does the programme include?

Depending on the camp: English lessons, full-board accommodation, activities and excursions, materials, insurance and 24h supervision. I detail exactly what each option includes — no small print.

Is it good preparation for a term or school year?

It is THE preparation: your child gets to know the country, loses the fear, gains English — and you see how they cope away from home. Many families start with a summer and come back for a term.
