Three Big Adventures in One Action-Packed Summer Day!

Give your child a summer day they won’t stop talking about! Our Summer One Day Camps (SAT) are designed for boys and girls aged 7 to 13 who love being active, making new friends and getting outdoors during the holidays.

Running on Saturdays throughout the summer, each day includes three exciting activity sessions packed with energy, water fun and teamwork - all fully supervised in a safe, supportive environment:

Awareness around Infectious Diseases

Killruddery Estate is a working farm, home to a wide range of animals and natural environments. While the risks are very low, we encourage parents to be aware of the symptoms of rare outdoor infections. If your child shows any unusual symptoms after camp, please consult your GP promptly.

You can find more info via these HSE factsheets:

In Case of Illness

In the unlikely event that your child becomes unwell during camp:

• Our instructors will care for them and keep them safe in a separate area.
• We will contact you immediately and ask that you collect your child straight away.

Camp Groups & Instructors

• One Day Camp participants (ages 7-13) will be placed into small groups.
• Each group is led by one of our experienced Camp Instructors, who stays with them for the full day to provide support, consistency and confidence.
• Our instructors are trained to help children settle in quickly, including those arriving without friends, so that everyone feels part of the group.

What to Expect - Activities & Facilities

Over the course of the day, your child will take part in a number of fun outdoor activities designed to challenge, educate and inspire. Guided by their instructor and supported by the rest of their campmates, they’ll enjoy exciting adventures that build teamwork, resilience and confidence.

• Children will walk 3-5KM throughout the day.
