The Ireland Adventure
Surf, Stay & Learn August 2026
Young Adult Program, 1-22 August, 2026
Learn, Explore & Experience Ireland Like Never Before
This isn’t a holiday. It’s three weeks of learning something new every single day – in the water, on the mat, and in the classroom. Spend your mornings chasing Atlantic swells, your afternoons deepening your knowledge, and your evenings making friends from every corner of the world.
With small groups, expert instructors, and a home-from-home hostel on Ireland’s most spectacular coastline, this is the summer experience you’ll still be talking about in ten years.
Two ways to learn. One extraordinary summer.
All programs include surf, accommodation and yoga. Then it’s over to you. Elevate your English with group lessons from our expert teachers, or dive deep into Irish language, culture, history, mythology and music with our Ireland Immersion program.
Book 1, 2 or 3 weeks: August 1-22, 2026 - €825/week
Tell me more about Bundoran
Bundoran has been drawing surfers, adventurers and free spirits to Ireland’s northwest coast for decades. This compact seaside town punches well above its weight, with world-class waves, a buzzing main street and the kind of easy, welcoming atmosphere that makes it impossible to leave on time. Backed by the Donegal hills and facing the full force of the Atlantic, it is a place that gets under your skin fast.
Where will I stay?
Your base for the summer is Rougey Lodge, right in the heart of Bundoran on the main street and just a short walk from the water. You will be in comfortable dorm rooms, with a shared kitchen, common areas and that easy, sociable atmosphere that makes it simple to meet people from all over the world. Clean, well-run and full of surfer vibes, Rougey Lodge is exactly the right place to come home to after a day in the Atlantic.
Ireland's Premier Surf Lodge
Ready to hit the waves?
You will get three surf lessons per week with a top local surf school on Bundoran’s stunning beaches, from complete beginner to improver level. Already experienced?

And there's more?!
The world is at your feet. Perched above Donegal Bay with the Atlantic stretching out before you, this corner of Ireland is one of the most spectacular places on earth and it is right on your doorstep. When you are not in the water or the classroom, roll out your mat for yoga classes that will keep your body and mind in perfect shape.
Spend your evenings with a brilliant international group, sharing barbecues, swapping stories and soaking up everything the northwest has to offer. Try your hand at Gaelic football, join a traditional music session in a local pub, catch one of the many festivals that light up this region all summer long, and let Ireland do what Ireland does best.
