Courses are intensive and are quite physically and mentally demanding therefore it is important not to assume that our courses are suited to every student. Each course hosts a wide range of activities catering for varied interests. In 1999 a new non-residential daytime course is being introduced. This course is only available in Dublin at the moment and is ideal for students who are not ready to go on a three week course away from home just yet. This course is intended to give students an introduction to Col iste na bhFiann.
Some courses allocate extra time to particular activities such as sport or music.
Refer to Summer Courses for details. Typical activities include Sports Drama Singing C il Dancing Preparation for competitions organised by other organisations such as Sl gadh, Sc r and An tOireachtas. Cumann na bhFiann also organise various trips and events during the year for its members. Cumann na bhFiann clubs run from September to March.
