​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.

We provide a vast range of sporting activities, from team sports like basketball and hurling to orienteering, gymnastics, Zumba and dance.

Our music teachers combine language learning with music to create a fun musical experience. Students may also bring in instruments during the week.

 Our morning classes are conversation based and informal. Central topics are introduced, explained and practised through pair-work and other tactics.

The drama classes are designed to encourage both Gaeilge and creativity. Language games and improvisation are usually the biggest hits!
