One in particular, Coláiste Lurgan, does this by having students translate popular songs into Irish and perform them at the end of the camp. The practical use of the language matters much less when it’s a song. People sing in Latin and Greek and dead languages all the time. It’s about communicating, yes, but not so much what the words are saying but what the music is. And when it’s a popular song that is already well known, the students already know the English translation and this can help solidify the language for them.
You can check out their YouTube channel, but here are some examples of how they're fostering the love of language in the next generation:

Chuaigh an t-úafás oibre agus réiteach isteach sa bhfíseán ceoil seo agus tá súil againn go dtaitneoidh sé libh Fáinne fí i gcoim na hoíche. (Níl) 'tada riamh nach mbíonn thart. Diabhail fhios a'm cá bhfuil deireadh mo scéil Ach táim ar an mbealach ceart. Deir siad liom gan a dhul sa tseans, Nach dtagann ciall roimh aois. Bhuel 'sé m'aistear é, Ní léir cén fhad a mhairfidh sé, 'Sé togha ar aon chaoi. So Lig mé saor ón suan 'tá orm. (Tai)speáin 'om bóthar éasca cothrom. Bainfidh mé ceann scríbe amach, sí m'aidhm, Cíbe treo átá i ndán. (Tá) Mé ag iompar úalach mór an tsaoil Ach níl a'm ach péire lámh. Suile troma is an ghrian a dhul faoi Ach ní chodlaíonn mé go sámh. "Bris amach agus tú fós sach óg." Chinnigh mé le dul in aghaidh. Seo mo ré, Seasfaidh mé an fód, 'S leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh. English translation of lyrics: http://ancroiait.wordpress.com/2013/0...
