About Program
Summer Culture: This month-long program has a little bit of everything, all on the stunningly beautiful western coast of Ireland. The program includes a variety of cultural and outdoor-recreational activities, trips to nearby towns, and room and board in a dormitory, which is just a short walk from the beach. Because there are international students from across Europe and Latin America also participating in the program, you will get a truly international experience. In addition to cultural studies and trips to nearby towns, you'll be offered a full schedule of outdoor activities to help you take advantage of the stunning surroundings.
