 Ireland’s Best Kept Secret.

I love learning & I suppose I would describe myself as a ‘Life Long Learner’ as I am inquisitive, curious & interested in learning what makes me tick, how I can be better & how I can develop more skills to pass onto the parents & children I work with.

When I attended my 1st Adlerian Summer School in Clonmel in Ireland I felt I had ‘come home.’ The warmth of the welcome, the wealth of knowledge & wisdom of the international experts, & the laughter & sense of belonging to a community of like – minded new friends, took my breath away.

We laughed, shared & discovered together in a atmosphere of convivial caring, free from finger pointing, judgement or criticism. Moving from learning to laughter easily – where everyone from experts to first time participants sit chatting equitably at coffee time or during the sociable evening events.

If you like learning, enjoy laughing & want to experience a magical memory that will last a lifetime – jump in & join us on Ireland’s best kept secret …. The Adlerian Summer School in Ireland.

Camp Evolution’s personal development workshops build self-confidence and strengthen communication techniques. Our critical thinking and problem-solving activities help children to develop their fundamental thinking skills. We introduce the basics of leadership and explore the importance of collaboration, whatever the situation.  We help children to understand the dynamics of interacting with others greatly improving their inter-personal skills.

Our 4-day residential camps and one-day workshops are designed specifically for the 9-14 age group. Pre-adolescence can be a tricky time during which children not only have to face the transition from childhood to adolescence, but also have to think about their future and what they hope to achieve. Choosing GCSE subjects can be quite daunting and one of the most important life decisions children make at this time in their lives. Click here to discover more
