Dear Parents,

We would like to thank you most sincerely for choosing Connemara Maths Academy for your children this summer. We are very much looking forward to welcoming all our students, new and returning, to our camps. We would like to remind parents that this year’s summer camps are being held at Rockwell College in County Tipperary and at Headfort School in County Meath. The exact location is available on our Summer Camps page in the main menu above.

Balance Payments are due 8 weeks prior to the summer camp season, and no later than May 2nd 2023.

Arrival time is Sunday 7pm.

Departure time is Saturday 1pm.

The Presentation For Parents, Family and Friends takes place on Saturday in the lecture theatre at 12.30pm sharp. This is located in the main building beside the reception.

All food brought on site is collected on arrival and students can take what they need during break time during the day. No food or drinks (except water) is permitted in the dorms at any time.

CMA hoodies (€80), t-shirts (€25) and caps (€20 each) will be available to buy on campus.

DEVICES

All devices are collected on arrival and are given back to students every afternoon at 4pm for 30 minutes. This rule is very strictly adhered to and any students found to have brought an additional device with them which they have not declared or are found to have a device on them outside of the allocated times will be asked to leave the camp. We would also like to make very clear that any bullying of any kind will not be tolerated at any time and students who do not adhere to this zero tolerance rule will be asked to leave. Any student who shows any disrespect of any kind to staff members will be asked to leave.

 

Multiple Week Stays

Students staying two weeks or more will have activities and meals as usual at the weekend.
