"The sites were amazing!" ~Dakota Coffey "After a month of being away, you would think we would want to go home, but all we want to do is stay." ~Paddy/PK Creedon "I'm proud to be a part of the Irish Life Experience, especially when I see the care and attention that Angie, Taryn and the Staff give to the kids. The reward is plain to see on the face of each ILE Participant, as they take with them a valuable piece of Irish heritage." ~Brian Farrell, Burren Coaches "It was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you Irish Life Experience." ~Scarlett Foss "These past few weeks have very likely had as strong of an impact on myself as they have had on these students, which began as an aggregate, quickly became a group, and returned home as a family. The only thing I enjoy more than spending time in Ireland is watching these students experience-with wide-eyed wonder-all the culture, history, and personality that Ireland has to offer. Angie, Brian, Dan, and Taryn have fostered each student's adopting Ireland and now they will all bring a bit of Ireland back home with them. They will soon all be thousands of miles away from one another and this magical place, but with one song, one smell, or one memory, they will instantly realize they will always be in Ireland together, forever." ~Siobhan Kennedy, Irish Life Experience Counselor "There were so many smiles. And there was so much laughter..., and learning. I have been inspired." ~Clara Kerwin "It's always a pleasure to spend four weeks of my holidays with the Irish Life Experience. It is incredible to observe complete strangers become life-long friends in less than a month. I'm proud to play a small part in all the kids' Irish Life Experience." ~Dan Parkinson, Irish Life Experience Teacher
