On the exposed, sand‑lined shore of Kilkee Beach, Nevsail Watersports & Adventure stages compact, high‑energy summer camps that fold beach games and land‑based challenges into short, supervised water sessions. The program is designed as an introduction to a wide range of watersports—sailing, surfing, kayaking and windsurfing among them—packaged into age‑grouped sessions for children and teens.

THE ACTIVITIES

A sampler of watersports and shore games

Nevsail’s camps rotate through a long activity list—windsurfing, sailing, coasteering, power‑boating, kayaking, canoeing, surfing, SUP, boogie boarding, raft‑building, team challenges, archery and orienteering—so each short session gives participants a hands‑on taste of multiple disciplines.

THE SCHEDULE

Short, focused sessions across summer months

Sessions run 2.5 hours daily with morning (10:00–12:30) and afternoon (14:00–16:30) options, Monday–Friday; camps operate throughout June, July and August, available either as single sessions or booked as a full week.

THE SAFETY + STAFF

Qualified instruction and included safety kit

Full supervision is provided by qualified, friendly staff; life jackets and safety equipment are included so children can try water activities in a controlled, supported environment.

What the day feels like

What a day at Nevsail feels like

A tight 2.5‑hour block keeps the tempo brisk: arrival and registration at the beach hut, a quick warm‑up and dry‑land briefing, then small‑group rotations that move participants from shore‑based games into short on‑water lessons—each run by qualified instructors who supply life jackets and supervise every activity.
