PLANNING YOUR VISIT
Our highly experienced team will support and assist you through the entire process, making your trip run easily and smoothly throughout. Every programme we run is customised to the group visiting.
This ensures we deliver what you want and that the outcomes for your pupils and schools are achieved.
Upon booking, your tour becomes the direct responsibility of an appointed tour director who will discuss any specific requirements you may have prior to arrival. The tour director meets the group on arrival and ensures the smooth running of all aspects of your stay.
An Ghaeilge
Is í an Ghaeilge gnáth theanga an Choláiste agus mar sin tá an teanga mar chroí lar an choláiste. Bíonn na scolairí sáite sa timpeallacht seo agus ag foghlaim i ngan fhios dóibh féin.
Bain triail as, déan iarracht maith agus feicfidh tú toradh do chuid oibre agus tú ag filleadh abhaile. Níl sé ró-dheacair.
Foireann / Staff
Our staff are trained and qualified to the highest levels and we have over fifteen years experience working with young people. They understand the different learning styles of students and adapt their sessions and coaching accordingly to ensure everyone can experience success. They are committed to the outdoor industry and enjoy what they do. Highly motivated with excellent people skills, they know how to bring out the best from your students. They quickly gain a rapport and create an environment of mutual trust and respect.
Imeachtaí / Activities
Groups are split according to strict ratios and each smaller group is allocated an instructor who leads them through each activity. Instructors work with slightly larger groups for the structured evening programme.
Free time is kept to the minimum with careful thought to session times both in the day and evening.
In the event of bad weather we have a contingency plan of alternative activities based in our large sports hall.
