Irish Culture, History & Landscape - Who is it for? |
Every student goes through a lot during the school year; keeping up with their work-load,
handing in assignments and generally feeling the pressure of school life.
In summer they are faced with the need for a change of pace and focus, but they
feel the need to continue being motivated intellectually. Summer Camp Ireland does
exactly that. |
Our course content is stimulating and enjoyable.
Students get to see things from a new perspective. The learning tempo is more measured
and students absorb content in a different way. There is no exam, but students work
together to produce a video documentary of everything they’ve learned, which they
can upload and share with friends and family afterwards. |

At Summer Camp Ireland
we make the learning curve a rollercoaster ride and the fact
that they are part of an international group adds an exciting slant to the experience.
As our activities programme is so full and such good fun, the bonding and friendship
that develops is very special and allows students to return home with a new global
network of friends.
When they arrive back at school or go on to college, they feel relaxed and refreshed,
but they haven’t lost touch with the learning process and they can bring the benefits
of their experience to their academic work. They have visited an enchanted land,
learnt new things, made great friends and had the experience of a lifetime.
