Surf camps for kids and teenagers on the Inishowen peninsula, running through the summer holidays.
Kids Summer Surf Camp in Donegal
Surf Camps For Kids in Donegal
School's out, and the house is loud. A summer surf camp in Inishowen gets kids into the sea and tired in the good way. Our surf camps for kids in Donegal run through the summer holidays and are built for children who want more than a single lesson: several days in a row, the same faces, and real progress by Friday.
What a Surf Camp Day Looks Like
Camp days mix surfing with beach time. Kids warm up, learn something new about the water, spend time on boards, then take a break on the sand before going back in.
A week of repeats makes the difference. Kids leave standing up on waves they'd never have caught on day one, which is what an active kids camp in Ireland should do.
Junior And Teen Camps
Our junior surf camp is for younger kids, with a gentle pace and plenty of supervision. Older kids and teenagers can join the adventure camp for teenagers in Ireland, where sessions push harder.
Teens who'd rather book single sessions can look at our kids and teen surf lessons.
Half-Term And School Holiday Activities
Camps aren't only for July. If you're hunting for half-term activities in Donegal or school holiday activities in Ireland, ask us about dates outside July. Even a single midweek day gives a restless child something to do.
Camps Near Derry And Around The Peninsula
Camp sessions run on the Inishowen peninsula, an easy drive for families in Derry. You can find out where we teach, and if you're staying for the week, our surf holidays and weekend breaks in Donegal page helps with planning.
If your kids like the outdoors in general, our page on kids outdoor activities in Inishowen has ideas for the days between camps.
Book Early
Places fill. The booking window opens well before the holidays, and we'd rather you book early than find out in July.
