Heritage and lesser-taught language summer camps

This summer we are delighted to be funding seven heritage and lesser-taught language camps across the country. Summer Camps are targeted at post primary students and provide an opportunity for heritage language speakers to learn more about their language and culture, or for beginners to discover a new language. 

2024 will be the sixth year of the popular summer camps which support and inspire students through a combination of fun, creativity, and learning.

The camps typically run between 10am and 3pm over a two week period and there is no fee to attend. Details and locations of this summer’s lesser taught language camps can be found below and here.
