Summer Camp
What's Involved?
We have an activity programme designed especially for children between the ages of six and twelve. A magical mix of experiences from exploring ancient boglands to the wonders of giant bubble blowing.
The week will be based in a farmyard which is located in a beautiful part of County Meath - on the edge of boglands and forests where children can explore a wonderful natural land. Nature and treasure trails have been laid out to give visitors the opportunity to look, listen, touch and learn.
When is it on?
The Week in the Wild runs for the first 3 weeks in August, from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 3pm.
How Much Does the Summer Camp Cost?
The cost is €75 per child per week. There will be no extra costs during the week - all tours and materials are included.
Transport
Transport can be arranged from Navan and other areas if there is sufficient demand.

What to Wear & Bring
Children must come dressed in their oldest clothes and shoes (wellingtons if possible). We have lots of indoor activities planned for wet weather.
Children should bring a packed lunch and a drink.

We provide a safe environment with experienced staff where children can thoroughly enjoy themselves. All our activities have been designed with safety in mind and we have a registered nurse on our team. All walks, workshops and games are closely supervised.
