IOAC Easter Camp in Tagoat: 5-Hour Outdoor Adventure for Kids (Ages 8-15)

At Sixacre in Tagoat, County Wexford, the IOAC Easter Camp compresses a full outdoor childhood into a five-hour day of games, skills and fresh-air curiosity. This day camp, aimed at 8–15 year-olds, runs from a meeting point at Sixacre, Tagoat, Co. Wexford, Y35 RH76, The Republic of Ireland, and hosts groups of up to 24 campers led by an experienced guide. It's designed around movement: relay challenges across grassy activity zones, low ropes-style teamwork, target games, creative problem-solving and free-play that gives kids room to invent and test themselves. On arrival the landscape is immediate and plain-open fields framed by hedgerows and a pocket of mixed scrub that offers both cover and routes for low-impact nature games. The setting's uncomplicated Irish lowland character is the point: there's enough room to run and create course-based activities, and enough small natural features-features-stone walls, a farm gate, a wooded edge-to introduce navigation, shelter-building and wildlife spotting without the logistics of a remote mountain outing. That practical mix makes this camp a standout for families visiting County Wexford who want an active, low-friction outdoor day designed specifically for younger participants. What distinguishes this program is its emphasis on guided play. With an experienced guide included, activities are scaled to the age range, safety is practiced without being obtrusive, and transitions between games maintain momentum so five hours feel adventurous rather than tiring. The small group size keeps leaders connected to every child, and the program shines at balancing structured skill stations-team challenges, obstacle runs-with unstructured creative play that sparks friendships by midday. The IOAC day camp also slots neatly into a travel itinerary. Parents can leave campers for a focused day of outdoor learning and pick them up with stories and tired smiles. Bring what the listing asks for: packed lunch, water, spare clothes and suncream. Those items are not included. Also prepare for typical Irish spring weather with layers and a lightweight rain layer. This camp is a practical, high-energy introduction to outdoor group adventure for young people visiting the southeast of Ireland. It's rooted in simple landscape features, skilled supervision and a clear focus on play and cooperation-an efficient, memorable way to turn a single daytime visit into a formative outdoor experience. For families traveling from nearby towns or farther afield, the program’s short schedule and clear meeting point at Sixacre, Tagoat, Co. Wexford, Y35 RH76 make drop-off logistics simple. Leaders encourage low-impact play, respect for farmland and hedgerows, and a pack-in pack-out approach for rubbish. For many kids the camp becomes the highlight of a short trip: new skills, fresh friendships, and an appetite for more organized outdoor days.
