Summer Splash Camp at Broadmeadow — 4-Day Kids Adventure in Enniskillen

Broadmeadow’s Summer Splash Camp is a four-day kids program held at the waters edge beside the Lakeland Forum in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. Designed for ages 7–15, the camp blends land and water skills—archery, team games, canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding—into short, supervised sessions that build confidence and practical outdoor ability. Drop-off is at the Lakeland Forum Events Area Jetty; each day runs 10:00–15:00, Monday through Thursday. Mornings often begin with land-based warm-ups and games that sharpen balance, spatial awareness and teamwork, then move to water sessions where children practice paddle strokes, boat safety and simple rescue drills with provided boats, paddles and wetsuits when needed. The mix of dry and wet days keeps energy high and gives campers variety: the itinerary lists a dry day on Monday and water days from Tuesday to Thursday, with instructors experienced in youth safety and group management. What stands out here is the lakeside setting at Broadmeadow. The shoreline is shallow and sheltered, ideal for first-time paddlers and short swim breaks, and the grassy meadow behind the jetty gives instructors a secure base for archery and games. That combination—calm freshwater edge plus open grassland—creates a compact outdoor classroom where kids can move from target practice to canoeing in minutes. Equipment is included, which simplifies logistics for families: boats, paddles and wetsuits are supplied, though campers may bring their own. Parents should pack swimwear, a towel, waterproof jacket, two pairs of shoes (one for the water) and a nut-free packed lunch; staff conduct lunchbox checks to protect campers with allergies. Safety and accessibility are front of mind. The program is non-refundable and age-restricted to 7–15, with staff-to-child ratios tailored for supervision. Activities emphasize skill progression—basic stroke technique, simple navigation, and supervised archery form—rather than competition, making the camp welcoming to beginners and active kids alike. The camp is described as award-winning and the sessions run five hours each day, which fits well into family holiday schedules while allowing enough time for measurable progress. Instructors break skills into repeatable drills so novices gain competence quickly; more confident campers get challenges that keep them engaged. Parents receive pre-camp information including allergy protocols and daily check-in details at the Lakeland Forum Events Area Jetty. Because spaces are limited and bookings are non-refundable, early reservation secures a place for a busy summer week. For families visiting Enniskillen, this camp offers more than childcare: it’s a compact introduction to freshwater paddling and outdoor skills in a controlled, fun-focused environment. Whether a child leaves with their first confident paddle stroke, a new archery stance, or simply a week of muddy sneakers and new friends, Summer Splash Camp at Broadmeadow is a practical, energetic way to make summer outdoorsible for young adventurers.
