Make memories that last with our action-packed water sports based kids parties for 8 to 16 year olds

Our parties are a huge favourite with kids of all ages! We have been running parties in the Grand Canal Dock for over 30 years and our qualified instructors will make sure that your group have a memorable time on the water that’s all about fun!

All our parties are private events, so our instructors will be dedicated to your group.

We have a picnic area on site that you are welcome to use for food and drink afterwards. We have several pizza delivery services nearby that have proven very popular over the years.

Which activities are being offered?

This is a paddleboarding and kayaking session. We run the session on both single and double kayaks, individual paddleboards and our big Monster SUPs that can carry a group of kids for some fun racing and group activities.

What does a typical session look like?

Arrival on site at the agreed time to meet your instructors and get checked-in. After getting changed, the group heads out on the water for their activities. They come back to land after 2 hours. Once changed you are welcome to use our picnic area for your own food/drinks.

Plan around 3 hours from start to finish (for example if your arrival time is 12.30pm, your pick up time is 3.30pm or 3.45pm if you decide to have food).

What does it cost?

Minimum group size is 10 people or the price for 10 people to be paid if your group is smaller.

• 10-24 participants: €27.50 per person
• 24-32 participants: €25 per person

What equipment do I need?

We provide all equipment for the activities including helmets and buoyancy aid and a wetsuit if needed.

Participants need to bring:

• Participants need a full-length wetsuit. If a child doesn't have their own, a wetsuit can be provided free of charge. Our rental wetsuits are 5/3 winter wetsuit thickness and your child will keep it for the duration of the camp. Note: Shorties are not allowed.
• Appropriate footwear. We recommend an old pair of runners, neoprene booties or water shoes. Note: Loose footwear like flip flops or Crocs are not allowed.
• Swimwear for under the wetsuit.
• Big Towel or changing robe to get changed outside. Please treat a trip to us like a trip to the beach.
• Sunscreen, Rain Jacket, something warm to wear after the camp, snack & drink – we like to be prepared for any weather.
• Rash Vest. (optional)
