Here at Colaisde na Gàidhlig, we believe that every subject comes alive when paired with the culture that shapes it. That’s why we provide opportunities to engage in authentic cultural experiences—like milling frolics, square dancing, and connecting with fellow learners.

From workshops and jam sessions to storytelling, bonfires, concerts, and ceilidhs, you’ll immerse yourself in Cape Breton’s rich hospitality and walk away with lifelong memories.

Explore Beyond the Classroom at Colaisde na Gàidhlig

For our summer adult learners, we offer a dynamic and bustling schedule—but we also encourage you to explore the beauty beyond campus. Having access to or renting a vehicle can be a great way to immerse yourself in the vibrant surrounding communities and experience Cape Breton culture firsthand. Many of our regulars will tell you that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door!

For young students, check out the sweet clip below created by one of our beloved summer regulars, Maggie, back in 2016—it’s a great glimpse into the fun and excitement that awaits!
