Photo of Ireland Surf & Adventure CenterAdventure Sports Program:
This is a two to ten-week stay in Ireland. You will live here in the tiny coastal village of Bundoran, and you will be with other USA, Euro & Irish people.
Four days a week, from 10am-4pm, we take beginner enthusiasts and we train them and prepare them to become surf instructors, beach lifeguards, and outdoor instructors. The training includes work experience with the groups that come into our busy outdoor centre & surf school every day. Most days, you will be surfing or climbing or doing something outdoors- to begin with, you are not expected to be able to surf, and yes, this is a cool course for someone who likes the idea of learning how! You do need to be able to swim, but everything else we will teach you & coach you. We provide all you need- wetsuits, boards, etc… you need enthusiasm!

This is a fun experience, and if you pass your assessments, you will have several world-recognised qualifications which you can add to your resume – you can also go to any beach in the world and get a job ! It is not a boot camp- we encourage everyone to do their best, but we do not force anyone past that. Almost everyone loves the fun of doing these kinds of activities with a group of peers, and that is what the course is about.

More serious candidates can train and become level 1 surf coach, RLSS Beach Lifeguard, - we also do a special course in Child Protection, we do an approved course in occupational First Aid, we do modules in outdoor leadership & management, and we do kayaking, climbing & team building activities. The real aim of this course is to enable people to be confident working with groups, to enjoy a healthy lifestyle, to enjoy the beautiful natural landscape of Ireland in the best possible way- and for many, it is a bit of time out from the academic pressure of high school, college, …just taking a different path for a while! The instructors are friendly and fun - patient and very approachable, and always professional.

The location of these activities is spectacular. Bundoran is a famous surf town, and there are three main surf breaks right in the town – the scenery is amazingly beautiful, and the county of Donegal is steeped in Irish culture & history. Close by, you have the counties of Sligo, Leitrim & Galway, and this is the part of Ireland that is famous for its warm welcome and truly remarkable culture.

To surf, kayak, climb, walk in this area is more than an activity- it is an amazing way to visit Ireland.
