Water sports on Carlingford Lough

Kayaking, Canadian canoeing, raft-building races, stand-up paddleboarding and Giant SUPs, water trampolines and supervised pier jumping. Wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets are provided.

Woodland land activities

Rock climbing and abseiling, laser combat across four arenas in nine acres of forest, plus archery, axe and spear throwing, orienteering and Gaisce hillwalking in the Cooley Mountains.

Group team challenges

The Crystal Maze, team-development high ropes, Survivor obstacle courses and a 776m2 hedge maze are built for schools, clubs and corporate groups.

Summer and holiday camps

Junior day camps (6-9) and residential senior camps (10-17) run through the summer, with Easter and Halloween camps too; half-day and one-day family camp options are available.

Over 300 hostel beds plus five group apartments and holiday homes around the village, sleeping 14 to 41 people each.
