Summer Camps
Killiney Hill Camps (Ages 5 - 12)
Explore and Enjoy: Our Outdoor Camps, based on Killiney Hill, immerse children in nature and offer a wide range of exciting activities. From Bushcraft and Wide Games to Beach Days, Forest Adventures, Orienteering , Sports & Games, participants will experience the thrill of exploring the great outdoors. Additional highlights include castle visits, S'mores and all the fun that comes with being in nature. While our Killiney Hill Summer Camps are focused entirely on outdoor activities, we understand that weather conditions can be unpredictable. We strive to hold activities outdoors whenever possible but will only cancel if absolutely necessary. In most cases, we can secure an indoor venue at the last minute to ensure the camp continues smoothly.
Teen Camps (Ages 13 - 15)
Challenge and Grow: Our Teen Camps are designed to provide older campers with more advanced activities that challenge and excite. These camps include beach trips, where making s'mores is always a highlight, as well as adventurous outings to Dalkey Island, wide games, forest skills, orienteering and more.
Teens get the chance to enjoy their inner child, get down and dirty, and partake in good old-fashioned outdoor fun.
They will build strong friendships, create lasting memories, and make the most of their summer with a variety of engaging and exciting activities that let them fully embrace the joys of nature and adventure.
Cycle & Science Camps (Ages 5 - 12)
Pedal and Discover: Our Cycle and Science Camps combine the thrill of cycling with the wonder of scientific exploration. Cycling activities are led by trained Cycle Right instructors who bring expertise and enthusiasm to every session. Children engage in yard-based road traffic scenarios and interactive games designed to teach essential cycling skills, road safety, and bike maintenance. By the end of the week, the goal is for all participants to confidently practice their newly learned skills on quiet roads. Alongside these practical cycling lessons, campers delve into scientific experiments and discovery, creating a balanced and engaging experience that fosters both physical activity and intellectual curiosity.
