STARCAMP Summer Drama and Performing Arts Camp - Ennis

What to Expect

STARCAMP is one of Ireland’s longest-running performing arts summer camps, operating nationwide since 2007, and the Ennis edition runs at Holy Family Senior School with places still open for the week of 4 to 7 August, a four-day week following the August bank holiday Monday. Children aged 4 to 12 split into two groups: STARCAMP itself takes ages 4 to 8 (Junior Infants to 2nd class) through singing, hip hop dance, acting and games with a lighter touch, teddy bear picnics, superhero adventures and magic tricks, while STARCREW takes ages 8 to 12 (3rd to 6th class) into a more advanced track built around teamwork, leadership and confidence through group performances and outdoor activities. Both groups work all week toward a finale show called Starcamps Got Talent on the Friday, which gives every child, not just the confident ones, a turn in front of an audience. The environment is deliberately non-competitive, aimed at making every child feel included rather than ranked against classmates.
