Founded by American actor Paul Newman, Barretstown Gangcamp is almost hidden among small villages in the Irish countryside near Dublin. This beautiful and charming place, with its castle, lake, gardens, paddocks and fields, is a place where seriously ill children from all over the world are encouraged to do things they never thought possible. There are three stays in the summer, each lasting ten days. They engage in activities such as horseback riding, canoeing, ropes, pottery, theater, etc. By finding that they can do all these things, they regain their self-confidence and strength to fight their illness.
