A whole week of movement, play and belonging, designed for neurodivergent kids to thrive.
Where camps happen
The Gym
One large, flexible space for movement, play, and group activities.
The Courtyard Garden
Sensory planting, outdoor exploration and the hobbit nook.
Neurodiversity Ireland Summer Camps offer a fun, child-led, neuroaffirming environment where children are free to explore, play, create, and connect in ways that feel right for them. Designed to honour each child's fluctuating capacity, there is no pressure to participate in any particular activity - children are supported to follow their interests, take breaks when needed, and engage at their own pace.
The camps include a variety of activities such as messy play, water play, arts and crafts, face painting, sensory experiences, access to a sensory garden, and gross motor play areas. Occupational therapists and support staff are on site throughout the camp, creating a safe, supportive environment where children can feel understood, accepted, and celebrated for who they are.
Above all, our summer camps are about having fun, building connection, and creating opportunities for children to experience joy, autonomy, and belonging.

The evidence
Our camps run in the same child-led, sensory-rich environment as our Sensory Centre - with climbing, jumping, mess and water available by design. These position papers explain why, and how we manage the real risks. Tap to read here, or download a copy.
Why our Sensory Centre provides climbing, jumping and elevated play, and how the risk is managed. Covers the vestibular and proprioceptive science, connective tissue hypermobility, the safety evidence, and NDI's risk-benefit framework, grounded in Tusla guidance and children's rights law.

Why our Sensory Centre arranges messy play and water play as part of the environment, not on request, and how the real risks are managed. Covers tactile processing, interoception, the regulatory properties of water, the genuine risks and their management, and why restriction is the bigger risk.
