Williams Syndrome Association of Ireland

The Music/Activity Camp comprises scheduled musical, artistic and other activities culminating in a musical performance at the end of the week. A program will be designed for each participant based on his or her choices at application time. The following is a sample of what we hope to offer:

A final performance or show will be presented on the final night of camp. The content of this will depend on the participants involved. In previous years we have presented our version of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", "Paint Your Wagon", "Pirates of Penzance".

COST:          WS Camp Participant                              475 Euro

Personal helper                                      350 Euro

WSAI Membership Fee                              25  Euro 

Total Cost                                              850 Euro  

WSAI membership fee of €25, deposit of €175 for WS participant and €125 for personal helper (total €325) is required with each application. Deposit is refundable in the event that the application is unsuccessful. Completed application form with deposit must be received by 15th April.

WS individuals must be over 16 years of age and must be able to speak and understand English. An English-speaking personal helper who is over 18 years of age (preferably a family member) must also accompany them.  

The WSAI committee will provide all instruments and teaching staff for the musical activities. Teachers for the musical activities will be provided based on participants choices on application so changes cannot be made once an application is accepted and a program is worked out for a participant.

The Music/Activity Camp is open to all WS families world-wide. However, priority will be given to Irish WS families if number of applications exceeds the number of places available.

Some form of recreational activity for the group will be arranged at night during the holiday week e.g. a singsong, a talent show, etc.
