Summer Splash Camp 6th - 9th July

Summer Splash Camp at Broadmeadow, beside the Lakeland Forum in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, turns four summer days into a concentrated lesson in outdoor confidence for kids aged 7–15. Drop-off is at the Lakeland Forum Events Area Jetty on Broadmeadow, where the shoreline becomes a classroom: grassy edges, a low jetty, and calm open water set a safe stage for both land and water skills. Each day runs 10am–3pm across Monday to Thursday, with a programmed mix of dry-land and water sessions.

The itinerary reserves the first day for land-based games, team-building and archery, then moves into canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding for the remaining days. Instructors supply boats, paddles, buoyancy aids and wetsuits when needed, so participants can focus on learning strokes, balance and basic rescue awareness. That equipment-first approach—paired with experienced staff—makes this a practical introduction to water skills and outdoor teamwork.

The setting is straightforward but effective: a sheltered waters edge with shallow launching points ideal for novices, interspersed with grassy gathering areas beside the Lakeland Forum 3G pitch. Key features include the Broadmeadow jetty, the shallow launch zone for paddle craft, and open sightlines that let instructors supervise multiple groups at once. Expect to see common waterside wildlife such as swans and herons while the kids practice boat control along the shoreline.

Safety and routine are emphasized: camps are non-refundable, attendance follows age limits (7–15), and staff perform lunchbox checks to manage nut allergies. For parents, that means clear expectations—bring a wetsuit if you have one, a waterproof coat, two pairs of shoes (one for water), a towel, and a packed lunch. The program’s group size and instructor ratios are designed to support skill progression without overwhelming participants.

This camp stands out in Enniskillen’s summer options because it blends focused skill-learning (archery, paddle craft technique, teamwork) with open play on water that’s calm enough for beginners yet engaging enough to build confidence. It’s also rooted in a local outdoor recreation area where water access is part of everyday life; that practical proximity turns a short week into real progress rather than a single-day taster. Families should book early—slots are limited, and the non-refundable policy is firm.

For kids who want to trade screens for strokes and leave camp with new skills, steady friendships and a better balance on a paddleboard, Summer Splash Camp is an efficient, fun-focused way into lakeside outdoor life. Drop-off and pick-up take place at Broadmeadow beside the Lakeland Forum 3G pitch; the camp runs five hours daily (10am–3pm) and provides all necessary safety equipment, including buoyancy aids and boats. Instructors are experienced in youth programming and water supervision, delivering structured progressions so children leave confident, competent, and eager to return.

Booking is advised.
