Our English course for teenagers is a task-based programme where students learn English through fun and interactive activities and challenging projects. The main focus is on helping them improve their communication skills in English. Classes revolve around a weekly topic combined with carefully selected grammar and vocabulary points. Students work towards an end-of- week project which is always presented on Friday. Examples of projects from previous camps are Election campaign for a teenage party, Travel Agent stall at an international travel fair, TV programme and a short play. Students learn and practice new grammar and vocabulary by playing games, solving quizzes, acting, and making posters and comic strips. In addition, they get a flavour of typical Cambridge exam tasks during a 30-min exam preparation session at the end of each day. Classes are run in small groups of max 10 students. At break time we provide soft drinks and biscuits free of charge.
In the afternoons we provide a range of exciting activities and trips such as hiking in the mountains, team sports and swimming sessions as well as city tours, museum visits, cycling trips, drama and dance workshops as well as games and quizzes. All activities are run and closely supervised by our team of experienced teachers and youth leaders.
On Saturdays we organise full-day trips which allow students to explore various tourist attractions in Ireland outside Dublin such as Glendalough, Kilkenny or Malahide. We also bring our students on various hiking trips and to an adventure centre in the Wicklow mountains where they can try some exciting outdoor activities such as climbing, orienteering and archery. Lunch is provided by the school.
On week days there is an option of booking a hot lunch which is served in a local pub just 10-minutes walk from the school. Under the supervision of one of our youth leaders students have lunch together with their classmates. Alternatively they can bring a packed lunch and have their lunch break in the school canteen where they have access to a microwave and a tea/coffee station.
Students who stay with our host families can enjoy the friendly atmosphere of an Irish home and become completely immersed in the English language for the whole duration of their stay in Ireland. As the safety and comfort of our students are our main priority we personally visit all host families before placing any students with them. In case of emergency or any other problem we operate a 24-hour phone service which all our students, their parents and host families have access to.
We offer half-board accommodation in twin or single rooms. Students have breakfast and dinner in the evening with their host families while the school provides a mid-day meal. All the houses are located in a safe residential area in west Dublin and are all served by the Dublin public transport system with a direct connection to the school.
We accept both selective and full package bookings. A full package booking covers the entire stay – from the arrival to the farewell at the airport. The selective booking is suitable for students who either stay in Dublin with their own families or have a relative / family friend in Dublin to look after them outside the school hours. The main booking options are presented in the table below.

Our carefully designed syllabus guarantees that participants progress in all four areas of language: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. We know how to teach foreign languages to teenagers in an exciting way. We aim to keep students’ motivation high and never let them get bored. They work on projects, play games and act at the same time learning complex grammar, expanding their vocabulary and building up their confidence in English. Teachers who work on our summer courses not only have a many years experience of teaching English to teenagers but also a lot of enthusiasm, energy and creativity essential in working with young people. They know how to let them enjoy the classes and progress in English at the same time.
