Coláiste na Rinne is delighted to announce the launch of exciting new Irish Language Camps hosted on the SETU campus in Waterford City.

These five-day immersive camps are designed for young people who wish to strengthen their Irish in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment. Building on Coláiste na Rinne’s proud tradition of Irish-language education the programme will combine classroom-based learning on the Cork Road Campus with sports and games through Irish at the SETU Arena.

As part of the camp, participants will also enjoy a surfing lesson through Irish with Freedom Surf School, Tramore. This unique experience blends sport, adventure, and language learning, offering students the chance to practice their Gaeilge in an energetic, real-world setting.

Speaking about the launch, Coláiste na Rinne’s Director Críostóir Ó Faoláin said: “We are thrilled to bring the richness of the Irish language into the heart of Waterford City in summer 2026. The camp will not only strengthen students’ confidence in Gaeilge but also show them how the language can be lived, spoken, and enjoyed through fun activities like surfing.”

The camp is open to students aged 10 to 15 and places are limited.
