This exciting program in the Literary Travel Adventures series is anchored at Ireland’s oldest university, Trinity College. Founded in 1592, home to the Book of Kells, and located in the heart of Dublin, Trinity is recognized for its academic excellence. With a tradition of scholarship spanning more than four centuries, Trinity College is the alma mater of Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and Anne Enright.
Great Books students will explore a rich corner of the Emerald Isle and the works of great Irish writers. Due to the high demand for writing, we have added a creative writing segment to our Dublin Literary Travel adventure too.
Experience Dublin with us! Outings may include Bram Stoker’s Castle, Dún Laoghaire, the National Gallery, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Park, and more points of literary and historical significance.
Write with us in Ireland! Our Dublin Program strikes the perfect balance between writing and exploration of the culturally rich city of Dublin, Ireland.
Academics
A Great Books experience rich with Irish literature, history, and storytelling!
We spend our mornings in craft seminars, learning writing techniques and discussing the works of great Irish writers such as Joyce, Yeats, Swift, Shaw, and Wilde. Creative writing sessions give students the opportunity to put pen to paper to create original works.
Writing & Cultural Exploration
To fully experience this literary treasure of a city, we spend the afternoons and most evenings touring the streets of Dublin and exploring the sites that inspired this city's great stories. Students draw their own creative inspiration from these adventures to fuel their own writing.
A special feature of our Dublin program is visits with notable Dublin authors and theater artists where students can learn more about the history and tradition of writing and storytelling on the Emerald Isle.
Outings will include Trinity College, its library and the Books of Kells, James Joyce Tower, Bram Stoker's Castle, and other points of literary and historical significance.
This residential program for students in rising grades 9-12 and gap year can be combined with our program at Oxford or our other literary adventures for a longer experience. Learn more about Great Books Literary Travel Programs and see the schedule for a typical day at camp.
