CEC Cork Junior Summer Centre: Residential English Camp at MTU

This is the residential version of the CEC Cork Junior Summer Centre, based on the Munster Technological University campus in Bishopstown, Cork, Ireland. CEC also runs a host family version of the same programme at Douglas Community School elsewhere in the city. Programme and activities. The course is English Plus Multi-Activity for students aged 11 to 17, combining English tuition with an activity programme. The package is fully inclusive, covering tuition, residential campus accommodation, activities, course materials and registration. Accommodation. Students live in residential accommodation on the MTU campus. A refundable key deposit of EUR 50 is payable on arrival for junior students — small, but worth knowing about in advance so it does not come as a surprise on the day. Living on campus means lessons, accommodation and activities share one site, with no daily journey between them. Ages, dates and duration. The programme accepts students aged 11 to 17. Sessions begin at the end of June, with two arrival dates listed. Families should confirm whether further dates are available before ruling the centre out on timing. Location and travel. Bishopstown is a suburb on the west side of Cork, Ireland's second city, with the university campus providing the setting. Cork Airport is close to the city and serves the UK and continental Europe directly. Note that the free airport transfer CEC offers applies to host family students at its other Cork centre; families choosing the residential option should confirm separately what transfer arrangements apply and whether they carry a cost. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families who want the security of a single supervised campus rather than a host family with a daily commute, and younger students of 11 or 12 for whom that structure is reassuring. A university campus also suits teenagers curious about student life. Families who would rather their child practised English in an Irish home should compare CEC's host family centre, which also includes the airport transfer.
