Causey Farm Summer Camp
For children who love the outdoors, Causey Farm Summer Camp offers four days packed with adventure, creativity, and hands-on learning in the heart of the Meath countryside.
Set amongst forests, boglands, streams, and farmland, campers are encouraged to explore nature while taking part in a variety of activities. Children can follow secret trails through the countryside, learn outdoor survival skills, build campfires, and take part in treasure hunts. The camp also includes giant bubble workshops, bodhrán sessions, graffiti art, giant dominoes, home baking, and river engineering challenges.
One of the highlights is the opportunity to care for the farm's animals, including pigs, hens, lambs, calves, and ponies. Children can also venture underground through Causey's famous mineshaft tunnels and embrace the fun of bog-jumping and bogland exploration.
