Happy Vibes: Why Cork parents are booking up these sell-out feel-good summer camps
Brought to you by Happy Vibes.
The summer holidays are hurtling towards us.
And with weeks to go, if you’re looking for a summer camp that offers more than just childcare, one Cork camp comes with rave reviews from parents of kids aged between four and eleven years old.
Now running camps across Bandon, Ballinlough, Blackrock, Carrigaline, Rochestown, Glanmire, Midleton, Kinsale and Ballincollig throughout July and August, Happy Vibes has become one of Cork’s most loved summer camps for children who love creativity, nature, movement and fun.
And with limited spaces remaining, families are being encouraged to book soon before camps sell out like they did last year.
Parents say what truly makes Happy Vibes different is the atmosphere. More than just a camp, Happy Vibes is all about helping children nurture calm, confidence and joy from the inside out — through playful, imaginative activities designed to let kids simply be kids.
Each day is packed with:
- Yoga adventures
- Nature-based arts & crafts
- Gardening
- Scavenger hunts
- Magical meditations
- Outdoor games
- Mindfulness activities
- Creative play
- Lots of time outdoors
Founder Lorraine Leahy says Happy Vibes was created to give children a summer filled with connection, creativity and feel-good memories:
“We wanted to create a camp that feels wholesome, uplifting and full of fun — a place where children feel free to be themselves, make friends, get outdoors and build confidence naturally through play and positive experiences.” Lorraine told Yay Cork.
Parents say their children come home happy, relaxed and excited to return each morning. One parent shared:
“Happy Vibes is such a special camp. The energy is so positive and welcoming and my child felt included from day one.”

Another said: “It’s the perfect mix of fun, creativity and outdoor play. The team are incredible and the children are genuinely cared for.”
With demand growing every year and many families returning summer after summer, spaces across several Cork locations are already filling quickly. Parents hoping to secure a place this summer are encouraged to book soon to avoid disappointment. Summer camp spaces can be booked now at HappyVibes.ie.
