About Us
Dramatastic Camps offer world class musical theatre and drama camps designed and delivered by real teachers and school leaders with a lifetime of experience working with children in a variety of educational settings.
Our Easter and Summer Camp programmes are based on a musical theme. Dramatastic Camps take inspiration from the famous musicals and stories of Broadway and The West End. We link our programme with the Primary School Curriculum, meaning your child is having an incredibly enjoyable time while also learning new skills and making friends.
We would like to take this opportunity to assure you that only the most skilled and experienced teachers with attributes of kindness and patience are employed by Dramatastic Camps Ltd. We handpick our staffing and upskill all of our teachers through rigorous training to enhance your child’s Dramatastic Camp experience.
who we are
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.
what we do
At Dramatastic Camp we carefully curate our camps. We develop our camps based on a chosen theme and write our programmes to specialise in fostering creativity, building self-belief and igniting a passion for the performing arts in children aged 4-13. Whether your child is born to perform or needs a little help to find their voice, Dramatastic teachers will bring out the very best in your child. Seamlessly weaving elements from the primary school curriculum into our camp, we integrate music, art, literacy, oral language, reading and physical education to ensure the Broadway magic is seasoned with some learning!
