What we do...'Gníomhach le Gaeilge' (Active with Irish) are Activity Camps, which take place in Ballincollig, Co. Cork during Easter & Summer Holidays.
The fundamental philosophy underpinning everything we do during the 5 day camps, is that language learning is best achieved while being active. We have classes for the following students:
Primary School: Pupils in 3rd,4th, 5th & 6th class. Secondary School: Students in 1st & 2nd year. **We also include Junior Certificate students during our Easter Camp. ***We run Intensive Irish courses for Higher Level 5th & 6th year students during mid-term breaks/ Easter Holidays. |
