Programmes for Youth Groups
Many youth groups (such as scouts and guides, youth
clubs, etc.) visit Killarney National Park each year to experience
for themselves the nature and magnificent scenery for which Kil Groups can stay in our hostel or campsite for a weekend, week or longer, and avail of the wide range of activities which are provided by us. Activities may last from 2 hours for an individual session to a fully packed week long programme. One of our most popular formats is the Discovery Weekend, which is aimed at the 8-14 year old age group. The visiting group will stay in Arthur Vincent House for the weekend and will participate in fully guided nature activities throughout their stay, such as live capture and release of small mammals, scavenger hunts, food chain games, quizzes, pond dipping, moth trapping, use of microscopes etc.. A video recording can also be made of the weekend, which will be copied for the group to take away with them. The main aim of the Discovery Weekend is for the participant to learn about nature and ecology whilst having a lot of fun!! If you do not require a full programme of activities throughout your stay it is possible to customise sessions to suit your needs. In addition to the activities mentioned above, many different options are available to suit various age groups, including hikes etc..
