PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW TO ENSURE YOU ARE AWARE OF DETAILS AND ADVISORIES WHEN DECIDING ON A BOOKING
NB: If the kids camp is booked out, but there are spaces on the teen camp, please do not book children under 13yrs on the teen camp - the booking will be cancelled.
Camps run daily from 10.00am to 4.00pm and can be taken on a daily or weekly basis.
Kids – 7yrs to 12yrs
- €160.00 for full week / €37.00 per day
- €100.00 for 3 days / €130.00 for 4 days
Teen – 13yrs to 16yrs
- €195.00 for full week - Includes one night island camping trip with food.
- €170.00 for full week / €40.00 per day - Does not include camping.
The island camping trip on Teen camps will run every second week from 7th July.
On Teen camps the activities are more CHALLENGING and SKILLS-BASED. Teens who have completed at least one year at secondary school and doing a full week may go on the overnight ISLAND CAMPING experience.
Teen camps are strictly for 13yrs and older and must have completed one year of secondary school (no exceptions). The camps are structured so that ongoing learning and team bonding is achieved. Therefore, these camps should ideally be taken as a full week so that they can do the camping trip. However, if your teen would like to do one on a daily basis that's no problem - when you book them in for a day they will be enrolled on the teen camp for the daily activities.
KIDS CAMP:
- Generally, there are 3 age group levels on the kids camps. Children are grouped according to date of birth.
- Children on the kids camp will go on an island day trip, normally on Thursdays or Fridays. The group is brought out to the island on Canadian Rafts. During the trip there will be games in the forest, cook out & roasting marshmallows on the camp fire. (For safety reasons, the Island trip is weather dependent and we may change the day for the trip).
MAKING A BOOKING
Sibling Discounts - Kids Camp: A discount of €10.00 will apply to second child and subsequent children from the same family doing a full week when 2 or more are booked together.
TEENS: Please note: when booking teens in for the week long camp, you must complete the school information in the areas provided. The default price, where the camping trip is available, is €195.00 (includes camping trip) for the full week but you can opt out of the camping trip where the price will revert to €170.00.
FULL WEEK ONLY: 25% of total is required as a non-refundable deposit. Deposits are transferrable but are non-refundable (for exceptions see below**). If a refund is given, there is a 5% booking and admin fee as we cannot claim this back ourselves.
When your booking is received by us, you will be sent a link to pay the balance which may be paid up to 2 hours before the start of camp. You may pay the balance when checking your child in on the first day.
DAILY BOOKINGS: Full payment is required at time of booking 1 - 4 days. If booking a child in for one day only, it is advisable to book Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday as Island trips normally take place on Thursdays and/or Fridays.
For all bookings you will be required to complete and sign an electronic waiver once your booking has been processed.
Please Note
If you have made a booking for children on behalf of another parent or guardian it is required that you provide the contact number for the child's parent or guardian. In addition, a signed waiver is required for each child. Please forward the waiver email onto relevant person or obtain permission to sign on their behalf.
**In the unlikely event that numbers for a particular week do not reach a viable level, we have the right to cancel that week and defer to an earlier/later week. Where another week does not suit you, we will refund any monies paid, in full.
