Now in our second week of summer camp in Ranelagh, we are looking forward to our summer camps in Dun Laoghaire in July!
Last year our summer camps took place entirely outdoors due to Covid-19. We intend to use our wonderful outdoor space again this year to soak up the summer sun but this time we are allowed to use the hall indoors too! So if it is raining or the sun is too strong, summer camp will take place in our indoor venue.
Our Dun Laoghaire – Rathdown summer camps take place in Presbyterian Church on Upper York Road, Dun Laoghaire. You can view the exact location on google maps here!
