Knockadoon Ecology Camps began in the late 1970s.  Throughout the 1980s these summer, residential camps brought Irish teens into contact with some of the most beautiful Irish coastlines of County Cork.  Located just south of Youghal, the Knockadoon ecological environment is vibrant with diverse sea, costal and land habitats - providing an excellent natural learning environment for anyone with an interest in ecology. The 2010 Camp is from June 12th - 19th.

The Knockadoon Ecology Camp provides a powerful learning environment for Irish teens.  Our 6-day programmes and activities will take them through all of the Higher Level Leaving Certificate ecology fieldwork (and Junior Cert.) while providing a fun and unique learning environment, specialising in sea-shore ecology.  Based in the Dominican Retreat Centre at Knockadoon, Co. Cork, the Knockadoon Ecology Camp offers campers safe, comfortable and fun group housing residences with a central dining hall for meals.  Beaches, fields, hedgerows and their vegitation and animal habitat are steps from the dormitories. 

Campers are led by experienced teachers, examiners and university science students who will engage the teens in daily learning activities that include experiments, projects and interactive, hands-on learning.  Other Counsellors and staff will supervise campers throughout the day.  Students will return home after the Knockadoon Ecology Camp better prepared for their State Exams with knowledge, memories and friendships that will last them a lifetime.
