Summer Camps
For Irish & International 8-17 year old boys and girls.
RESIDENTIAL SUMMER CAMPS 2022
At CMA Summer Camps students enjoy an incredible mix of STEAM workshops (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Maths), Adventure Activities and Team Sports with a focus on Discovery, Creativity and Adventure.
In 2022, CMA Summer Camps are being held exclusively at one of Ireland’s premier boarding schools, Rockwell College in County Tipperary. Rockwell College is conveniently located with easy access to the Wild Atlantic Way on the south coast and to Dublin Airport on the east. Cork and Shannon Airports are also conveniently located nearby.
All Irish and International boys and girls aged 8-17 yrs are welcome.
In 2019 CMA welcomed over 30 nationalities from around the world and from the four provinces of Ireland. In 2021 all weeks sold out with mostly Irish students and we are very much looking forward to welcoming our international students back in 2022. Airport Transfers are available for our international students.
Summer 2022 promises to be a truly wonderful summer with Irish and International students back together again.
