Enrolment Process

  • 1.

    Contact Us

    Give us a call and talk to one of our family workers. We will mail you an application for you to fill out and submit. Once the application is submitted to our office, we will give you a call and your son will be placed on the waiting list.

  • 2.

    Interview

    As an opening for your son approaches, a family worker will visit you and your son in your home for an interview and to discuss the academy programme and objectives.

  • 3.

    Camp Tour

    This usually happens a week or two ahead of your son moving to the academy. You and your son get a tour of a campsite, and your son decides if our academy is a place he can receive the help he needs. If yes, the date is set for him to move to the school and join his group.

  • 4.

    Intake

    The move to the academy includes packing clothes, saying goodbye to family, and settling into the campsite at Comeragh Wilderness Academy. At this point your son is officially a part of his group.

"By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." – Proverbs 24:4
