Dramatastic Summer Camp 2026

The World of Oz in a Week

Summer Camp 2026

Summer Camp Details

Follow the yellow brick road to one of Ireland’s most in-demand summer camps, where children are completely immersed from the moment they arrive.

This is Dramatastic at its best, a premium, high-energy week built on everything families already trust us for: structure, quality teaching and an atmosphere where children genuinely thrive.

With hundreds of children attending our weekly classes across multiple locations, Dramatastic has built a reputation for delivering well-run, engaging programmes led by qualified educators and performers and our summer camps consistently fill quickly because of it.

A Week in Oz — What It Really Feels Like

From 9:00am, the day is in full swing.

Music is on. Groups are organised. Activities are flowing.

Children are not waiting around or left on the sidelines — they are part of everything, moving through a day that is carefully paced, varied and genuinely enjoyable.

Across the week, they’ll step into the magical world of Oz — not through pressure or performance, but through play, creativity and shared experience.

What Your Child Will Be Doing (Every Single Day)

This is not a one-note camp. It’s a full, exciting schedule designed to keep children engaged from start to finish:

  • High-energy outdoor games
    Running games, team challenges, parachute games, group competitions — lots of movement, fresh air and fun
  • Fast-paced indoor games
    Structured, inclusive and expertly led so every child is involved and enjoying it
  • Drama & Oz-themed imagination
    Creating characters, exploring scenes, storytelling and group work inspired by The Wizard of Oz
  • Music & singing
    Fun, familiar songs taught in a relaxed, confidence-building way (no pressure to perform)
  • Dance & movement
    Upbeat routines and follow-along choreography — energetic, accessible and enjoyable
  • Creative workshops
    Art, simple prop-making and hands-on activities linked to the Oz theme
  • Social time & friendships
    Children mix, collaborate and build confidence naturally in a warm, supportive environment

There is a constant energy and flow — children are active, included and enjoying themselves throughout the day.

The Dramatastic Difference

Families don’t just book us for “something to do” — they book because they know the standard.

At Dramatastic, every element is carefully considered:

  • Qualified teachers, theatre experts and professional performers.
    Garda-vetted, experienced staff who specialise in working with children
    Clear structure and organisation — calm, controlled and well-paced days
    Confidence-building approach — every child included, no pressure to be “the star”
    A premium, boutique feel — not overcrowded, not chaotic

This is why families return again and again — and why our camps consistently sell out across locations.

End of Week

We finish with a performance where every child is involved — a simple, positive moment where children can show what they’ve enjoyed.

A no pressure, confidence-building finish to a brilliant week.

About Us

At Dramatastic, we're not just any camp or class, we're your child's ticket to an epic experience filled with excitement, creativity and memories that'll last a lifetime. Our age-based groups ensure that every child gets a tailor made experience. This year we bring education and the stage together for an incredibly fun and enriching experience like no other.

Founded in Galway, Ireland in 2012. Ciara Doyle (B Ed, MA Music Education, ALCM, FLCM, LLCM Musical Theatre) and her extensive team of highly skilled teachers have since expanded Dramatastic Camps to multiple counties. At Dramatastic Camps children arrive as participants and leave as a family. Our team ensure your child feels safe and happy in an environment that is bustling with exciting activities in arts education. Our camp programme is designed for children aged 4 to 13, our age appropriate groups have a series of age based activities everyday. Whole camp workshops in singing, group based theatre games, script work, choreography and outdoor games (team building) promise a week of memories your child will cherish forever. Every Dramatastic Camp has a theme- for example ‘Matilda’ , ‘Encanto’, ‘Mean Girls Musical’, or ‘The Lion King’ to name but a few. All activities at camp are related to this theme. Whether your child wishes to be front and centre on stage, or you have a child who prefers to get involved in set design and crafts our exceptional team can assure you that every child is included and feels an equal part of the Dramatastic magic.
