Who wants to join our youth ceili band?

The UICC is committed to providing top-notch cultural programming opportunities, with special attention to youth as we build for the next generation of Irish Americans. We are delighted to have international creative force, Máire Clerkin, directing the summer program. She leads a talented and diverse team of artists in a variety of activities and experiences for our Campers ages 8-16 years. With such variety, every Camper will discover new passions and find their way to shine!

With three weeks of fun sessions in singing, drama, drumming, hip hop dance, fiddle, piano, storytelling, visual arts and crafts, outdoor sports, web design, video making, and theater performance, Campers will work to create a theatrical production by Camp’s end for all to enjoy.

No experience needed!
