Summer Splash Camp: 4-Day Water & Land Adventure for Kids in Enniskillen

Summer Splash Camp 3rd - 6th August runs from the Lakeland Forum Events Area Jetty on the Broadmeadow waterside in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. Designed for kids aged 7–15, this four-day day camp packs five hours of guided activity into each day, blending paddling, target sports, team games, and shoreline play into a single action-packed week. Drop-off is beside the Lakeland Forum 3G pitch at the water’s edge; pick-up is the same, making logistics straightforward for busy families. The program keeps things short and decisive: mornings focus on dry-land skills like archery and team-building games, while the latter half of the day shifts to canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and supervised swimming. All boats, paddles, and safety kit are provided, and experienced instructors run sessions with clear progressions so novices build confidence fast. The mixed-program approach means campers rotate through land and water stations, learning balance, stroke technique, and basic rescue awareness in a supportive group setting. What makes this camp stand out is its waterside classroom. Operating from a jetty at Broadmeadow gives instructors quick access to gentle shoreline water that’s ideal for first paddles and swimming drills without long launches or boat ramps. That immediate connection to the freshwater edge keeps transitions fast, lets instructors maintain visibility, and gives kids more active time. Equipment is included, but families are encouraged to bring a personal wetsuit if they have one; organizers will supply wetsuits when needed. Safety and simple logistics matter here. The schedule runs 10:00 to 15:00, Monday through Thursday, and the camp enforces a nut-free policy with pre-lunch checks to protect children with allergies. The experience is non-refundable, so plan accordingly. Small-group instruction and clear daily routines help children try new activities while making friends in a structured setting. Families looking for a hands-on, local summer option will appreciate the balance of water skills and land games, the centralized drop-off point at the Lakeland Forum, and the focus on fun progression rather than competition. Whether a child arrives as a tentative paddler or a confident swimmer, the camp’s mix of coaches, equipment, and a shoreline setting make it an effective way to spend a week outdoors near Enniskillen. Exact meeting point: Lakeland Forum Events Area Jetty, Broadmeadow, beside the Lakeland Forum 3G Pitch. Parents receive daily skill summaries at pick-up and clear messages if weather forces changes; wet-weather plans favor extra dry-land sessions over cancellations. Bring swimwear, towel, spare clothes, a waterproof jacket and two pairs of shoes (one for water, one to change into). Camp is non-refundable; medical and allergy details are collected in advance so instructors can adapt. For families around Enniskillen, this compact, active week is a way to sharpen outdoor skills and make new friends.
