Designed for students aged 13–16, this unique programme blends high-quality English language learning with elite rugby training, all within a vibrant, international atmosphere.

Participants will boost their confidence in English, expand their vocabulary, and develop real-world communication skills through dynamic lessons powered by Cork English College’s partnership with National Geographic. At the same time, they’ll immerse themselves in the core values of rugby—teamwork, respect, and integrity—guided by professional Munster Rugby coaches.

The programme runs across two fantastic locations:

• Residential students stay on the modern campus of Munster Technological University, where they attend morning classes and enjoy a full campus experience.

• Host family students attend lessons at Douglas Community School, located in a peaceful suburb on Cork’s south side.

Each afternoon, all students come together at MTU for thrilling rugby training sessions and matches—creating an electric atmosphere of teamwork, learning, and fun.

What’s included:

• 20 English lessons per week (45 minutes each)

• Full-board accommodation (on-campus or carefully selected host families)

• Engaging lessons powered by National Geographic

• Exclusive welcome pack, including a Munster Rugby jersey

• Rugby training five afternoons per week with Munster Rugby coaches

• Supervised evening activities

• One full-day excursion each week

• Weekly assessments and an end-of-course diploma

• The chance to make lifelong friends from around the world

This is more than just a summer camp—it’s a unique opportunity to learn, train, and grow with two outstanding organisations at the top of their game.
