Summer Camps

Fun Activity-Based Language Camps

Language Summer Camps

2025 will be the seventh year of heritage and lesser-taught language summer camps funded by Languages Connect.

Summer camps are an opportunity for heritage language speakers to immerse themselves in their language and culture, while allowing beginners to discover a new language. There have been heritage language camps in Polish, Romanian and Lithuanian and lesser-taught language camps in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Italian over the last number of years.

Post-Primary Students

The two-week camps are for 1st to 5th year post-primary students attending a post-primary school in Ireland. Summer Camps support and inspire students through a combination of fun, creativity, and learning. They provide an opportunity for heritage language speakers to learn more about their language and culture, or for beginners to discover a new language. Details of the 2025 summer camps are below and parents are encouraged to contact the coordinator in order to book a spot for their child as soon as possible.
