    Slightly off the subject but I think the scouts are a terrific organisation (if you can get your child in, easier if you agree to be a scout leader), they're really affordable and I'm only sorry that not only did I sign up my lad a little late (he did get a year out of it), but he left as he was going into secondary school.

    Scouts (and guides and brownies etc.) are really affordable (a couple of euro per week) and I think they're the reason that my young fella (now a young man) can cook.... and he taught me, his oul ma, how to pitch a tent properly.

    Anyway, he loved camping with them and I got an unexpected couple of days break and he had a ball!! I can't speak highly enough about them.:D

    Depending on age and hobbies etc there are quite a few summer camps around. I always think Summer camps should be about trying out new things though so perhaps something that would introduce him to new hobbies etc..
    Depending on your location and how easy it is for you to travel there's the likes of www.gleesummer.com in Ballinasloe (dont need experience) or try www.schooldays.ie for a list of other camps.

    With regards to price, some Summer camps are overpriced and others are well I would say suspiciously underpriced (check the quality of what you are getting, are staff garda vetted all that!) Summer camps can be cheaper than baby sitters for a week and your kids get something out of it too.
    Hope that helps!

    There is a new summer camp set up in east county galway between corrandulla and claregalway but i'm not sure if it's a bit far out.
