Summer Camps for Teenagers in Ireland

The summer can start off fun and exciting for any teenager free of school, but as the weeks wear on both the teenager and the parents can become restless and frustrated as the list of productive activities dwindles. Allowing a teenager to attend a summer camp is a great way to break up the summer months and it gives him or her something energetic and enjoyable to do for a few days or weeks; it also encourages the making of new friends and the learning of new experiences. Ireland has a number of summer camps on offer, specializing in everything from outdoor adventure to science recreation.

  1. Kilfinane Teen Adventure Weeks

    • Kilfinane in Co. Limerick offers Teen Adventure Weeks for teenagers aged 14-17. Activities available include biking, kayaking and rock-climbing. The tuition includes accommodation and 24-hour supervision.
