May Weekend Trips

Zero Latency

Zero Latency

The girls had an unforgettable trip to Zero Latency in Dublin — a thrilling dive into free-roam virtual reality. From battling zombies to exploring alien worlds, they worked together in immersive, action-packed games that brought teamwork and laughter to a whole new level. Everyone came away buzzing with excitement and eager to return. A great experience for all!

Emerald Park

Emerald Park

Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, we had a fantastic day at Emerald Park in County Meath. The girls braved thrilling rides like the Cú Chulainn Coaster and explored the magical world of Tír na nÓg. The zoo, home to over 250 animals, offered up-close encounters with exotic animals and birdlife. From adrenaline-pumping activities to fascinating wildlife experiences, it was a memorable trip filled with laughter and excitement.

Zipit

Zipit

Our final trip of the year was to Zipit Forest Adventures in Tibradden Wood. The girls tackled treetop challenges, soared through the forest on zip lines, and navigated rope bridges high above the ground. The experience fostered teamwork, boosted confidence, and provided plenty of laughter. It was a thrilling adventure they won't ever forget.
