STARCAMP Summer Camp - Limerick City
At Multiple Limerick locations · Limerick city and county venues, Co. Limerick
At Multiple Limerick locations · Limerick city and county venues, Co. Limerick
STARCAMP has been running summer camps across Ireland since 2007, and what draws parents back year after year is simple: children come home having actually done something. This is not a sitting-around camp. Over a five-day week, kids aged 4 to 12 are on their feet singing, dancing, performing, playing games and building the kind of ease in front of others that school rarely teaches. The 2026 theme is circus - clowning, balance acts, circus crafts and a big show at the end of the week. If your child is shy, that is the point. If they already love the spotlight, they will thrive here too.
STARCAMP splits into two streams. STARCAMP (ages 4-8, junior infants to 2nd class) covers singing, dancing, treasure hunts, magic, superheroes and teddy bear picnics - all wrapped in the 2026 circus theme. STARCREW (ages 8-12, 3rd to 6th class) goes deeper, with hip hop, acting, spy academy games, imposter challenges, outdoor activities and group performances. Both streams are designed around confidence-building - the camp describes its approach as “public speaking in disguise”, with breakfast shows, storytelling and talent competitions baked into each day.
Sessions run from 9:30am to 2:30pm, Monday to Friday. Camps are staffed by qualified educators and performers. Children bring a packed lunch each day - nuts and chewing gum are not allowed due to allergies. An early drop-off from 8:45am is available.
In Limerick for 2026, sessions run at four venues: TUS Midwest (Weeks 1 and 5), Donoughmore NS (Week 4), Newcastle West Community Centre (Week 3) and Crescent College Comprehensive (Week 6). The full run stretches from 3 July to 18 August. Sibling and multi-camp discounts are available when booking online. Prices start from around €100 per week - check the website for current rates per session.
Limerick city is well connected by road and rail. From Dublin, take the M7 motorway south-west; the journey is around two hours. From Cork, the N20 brings you to Limerick in roughly an hour. Irish Rail runs direct services from Dublin Heuston and from Cork Kent, with Limerick Station on Parnell Street in the city centre. Bus Eireann also serves Limerick from most major towns. Specific venue locations vary by week - TUS Midwest is in Moylish on the northside of the city, while Crescent College Comprehensive is in Dooradoyle on the southside. Check the booking confirmation for your session venue and allow a few minutes for parking at school and college sites.
Limerick repays a bit of extra time. King John’s Castle on the riverside is one of the best-preserved Norman fortifications in the country, and the Hunt Museum holds an exceptional private art collection. The Treaty City has a food scene that punches well above its size, and the Shannon riverside walk makes for an easy afternoon. There is more to see in Limerick and across Co. Limerick.
