ECOADVENTURE IRELAND

We believe that outdoor education is a life skill everybody should have. It not only educates but gives confidence and energy to every participant. We also believe that learning in an outdoor environment should be fun and exciting for students. We believe that by combining with An Óige our programmes at Knockree meet all these criteria.
Our instructors bring a combined experience of decades in outdoor education and are qualified in their relevant disciplines bringing an enthusiasm that will help every group enjoy their visit to Knockree.


An Óige:

An Óige is a non-profit membership organisation founded in 1931 to encourage youths to appreciate the Irish countryside through hostelling.
Some 76 years on An Óige now have 27 hostels located countrywide providing in-expensive, good quality accommodation for travellers just like yourself, looking for adventure and fun.
An Óige recently completed a €4m building project at Knockree. The 5 star premises, opened in April 2008, now boasts 76 beds and state of the art facilities.

Combining An Óige's tradition and experience in catering for groups and EcoAdventure Ireland's expertise and passion for outdoor pursuits at last Schools, Youth groups, Scouts Troops and Community projects have a professional choice of location and service when it comes to outdoor education - and all at a very competitive price.
Being aware of the difficulties for organisers of events we are conscious of not only the budgetary constrains but also the importance of having an all in package available to Teachers and group leaders. With this in mind we have put together a number of sample packages to give an overall flavour of what we can provide, bringing the opportunity to apply what is learned is the classroom to the field for Students. Our Multi Activity packages are available to groups of all sizes and ages.
With full conference facilities we also provide team training and team building days, facilitation and workshops for both the corporate and voluntary sectors.
For further details of all our services please browse through our site which we hope you find informative or you can contact us at
info@ecoadventureireland.ie or by phone on 01-2767988 where we will be happy to answer any queries.
We look forward to seeing you at Knockree Youth Hostel in the near future and remember we can tailor a package to suit your group whatever the number!
