The Dublin Life Skills Academy experience
Three distinct camps. A broader experience.
Easter, Summer One and Summer Two each bring a fresh set of activities and challenges, shaped by the same Life Skills Academy philosophy: helping children discover what they can do.
Each camp is a complete experience in its own right. Together, the three offer a wider range of practical skills and more opportunities to try something new, grow in confidence and take responsibility. Returning campers encounter fresh content, with familiar values running through every week.
Choose one, two or all three camps to suit your family.
