Designer Minds - Leixlip STEAM Summer Camp
Designer Minds runs a week-long STEAM summer camp at Confey College in Leixlip, Co. Kildare, for children aged 6 to 12. The programme splits into a Junior group for 1st-3rd class pupils and a Senior group for 4th-6th class pupils, so activities are pitched to the right stage for each age band. Expect a hands-on mix of science, technology, engineering, art and maths projects — building, experimenting and problem-solving rather than sitting at desks. It's a good option for kids who enjoy tinkering and want a break from sports-only camps. Price is €180 for the week. As with all Designer Minds camps, places tend to fill up, so early booking is worth considering for the Leixlip location.

Term fees are €195, and families who aren't sure yet can try a pay-as-you-go trial session before committing to the full term. It's a good option for parents looking for a structured, age-graded drama class rather than a one-off workshop.
