There are a host of other activities and social events such as Karaoke, Movie Awards Night, Dragon’s Den, Table Tennis, Pool, Board Games, Excursions and many others for students to enjoy throughout their stay with us.
New: CMA is proud to announce a new partnership (Summer 2023) with the Bike Engineering Academy, introducing a new module to the STEAM workshops, where students (15 years +) will explore key concepts through the construction and design of bicycles. CMA Summer Camps now also include 3D CAD workshops.
Using Green Screen Technology, students create news broadcasts of their activities. Students can embed footage they’ve taken from surfing for example, when producing their news broadcasts. Video from Summer Camp 2019 Green Screen Workshops
Students wear GoPro video cameras to record their adventure sports activities, and which can also be used to calculate speeds.
Orienteering is a sport that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and unfamiliar terrain whilst moving at speed, equipped with a topographical map (a specially prepared orienteering map), which they use to find control points.
3D Computer Aided Design
Exploring what sound is, how it’s produced and discovering sound waves, frequencies, vibrations and visual patterns created by Chladni plates and drums and different instruments.
Exploring the key concepts of motion, speed, distance and time through interactive and highly engaging workshops whether, for example, calculating speed of flying objects such as drones and planes, or the speed of an arrow in archery or your own speed while running or indeed surfing using GoPro cameras. Students also use iPads to record and analyse flight paths of…
Creating and producing stop motion animations using models, plasticine, drawings, graphics and other methods. Stop Motion movies are shown at the ever popular Movie Awards night with great prizes on offer.
Exploring and manipulating programming languages such as drag and drop software like Scratch or other languages like Python to get computers to behave and create content such as animations or music. Scratch can also be used to analyse the flight paths of the water rockets built in the Flight workshops.
Exploring how wind energy works and then assembling model Wind Turbines and demonstrating what energy can be produced by the wind. Measurements are taken to see the power in the wind on any particular day.
Teams story board, produce and shoot short movies, which are screened at the Movie Awards night. Students apply concepts explored from workshops such as applying Fibonacci patterns and the Golden Ratio to the visual compositions used in the productions of the movies. Great prizes on offer such as CMA Hoodies and Caps.
Using tiny handheld programmable computers that can create musical instruments and robots among others. These workshops are complimented with Coding & Robotics workshops.
An assault course on campus on Rockwell Lake including rafting, rope bridges, zip line and other challenging obstacles for students to manoeuvre. (*Rockwell Only)
Writing, recording and producing podcasts of various themes and topics, while also exploring which microphones, cables, software packages and mixing desks etc are best suited for different situations.
Bicycle Engineering is a rapid growth are within the Green agenda and CMA are delighted to announce this new offering (for the older cohort of students to start with) at CMA Summer Camps. Students will enjoy fascinating hands on bicycle wheel building, exploring key mathematical and scientific concepts when contemplating rim dimensions, diameters, spoke tensions and optimum spoke lengths among…
Designing and creating 3D models and representations in x,y,z planes which are then scaled appropriately to be printed on a 3D Printer. How a 3D Printer works is explored and students take their 3D Printed models with them.
Teams are asked to come up with new inventions or business ideas which they then pitch to the judging panel. Great prizes on offer such as CMA Hoodies and Caps.
Kayaking takes place on campus on Rockwell Lake and all levels from beginners upwards are catered for. All equipment is provided.
Using programming languages such as scratch in conjunction with Raspberry Pi Technology to remotely control robots through various mazes and other challenges.
Students create musical tracks using sequencers such as Garage Band and Logic Pro, and can sample sounds and record live instruments to add to the tracks. Tracks can also be used as soundtracks for their movies and Green Screen Productions.
Exploring how drones work and flying model drones through various courses using hand sensors. Calculating speeds and distances using drones.
CMA has a wide range of team sports including basketball, volleyball, handball, dodge ball, football, tennis, hockey, rounders, hurling, tag rugby, swimming and water polo. At CMA Rockwell Campus, we have world class sporting facilities including indoor gym, indoor swimming pool, Water Park & Assault Course on Rockwell Lake, Astro turf and grass playing fields, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts.…
Exploring various patterns and ratios evident in nature, art, film, and music such as Fibonacci, The Golden Ratio and wave machines. Game Theory is also explore. These concepts are applied to other creative workshops such as sound production, music technology, 3D printing and film production.
Exploring, designing and building water rockets using compressed air. Looking at Newton’s Third Law and ratios.
The ever-popular Karaoke night. Students can enjoy a wonderful evening of Karaoke with great spot prizes and loads of fun.
Students explore designing and assembling propulsive devices for flight including planes, helicopters, drones and rockets.
An adrenalin fuelled activity on the High Ropes and Zip Line.
Students get to explore different instruments like electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and just about anything that can make music, form a band and perform together. Loads of fun and very loud!
Students explore shapes and properties of light while using iPhones to create holograms.
Students enjoy a wide range of team challenges from blindfolded assault courses to coordinated plank races and dice games, team work is the key. On arrival day, students are immediately involved in these team challenges and ice breakers and by the time they’re going to supper they’ve made great friends and have settled in.
Students enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the woods for Archery. A firm favourite.
