Whizzkids Residential Camps

Our residential summer camps for teenagers, caters for 13-18 year olds. Although all the other elements are present, the main focus at this camp is working with digital video. Each group will storyboard, direct, edit and produce their own movie, complete with effects and backing track. Tech 'n' tours programmes are on offer to group bookings.

6 Days on Campus

The Residential camp will have all the fun activities of a regular day camp, but with extra time, each area will be explored in more detail. This will be particularly so for those interested in movie making, where not only will there be performance and storyboarding of the video, those attending will be undertaking the post production video-editing. Tech activities run until 3.30PM and there are many leisure facilities available for use in the afternoon. Dinner is served at 6. At 8PM we have our evening programme of activities, such as cinema and video game competitions on campus. Arrival is 3PM on Sunday and departure is at 12PM on Saturday.

10 Days Tech 'n' Tours

We can offer a 10 day package for groups who also want to see some of Ireland's top tourist spots. Based at the University of Limerick, which is situated at the gateway to the beautiful and rugged West of Ireland with world reknowned sites such as the Cliffs of Moher only a short drive away.
