The Nook guide — Summer 2026
Summer camps in Northern Ireland.
Eight weeks off, no plan — you know the feeling. So we've rounded up camps, holiday clubs and kids' activities from right across NI, organised by where you are. Your summer, sorted in a couple of taps.
A few things worth knowing
Ages — most camps run from around 3 to early teens. Soft play and sensory suit babies and toddlers; sports, coding and adventure camps usually start at 5+.
When — the majority run July and August, booked by the week or the day. Popular weeks sell out fast, so book early.
Cost — soft-play drop-ins from a few pounds; full day camps typically £15–£35 a day; specialist and outdoor camps a little more.
Free & low-cost — your local library (free summer reading and events), council leisure-centre schemes, and free clubs such as CoderDojo.
Always check — dates, ages and prices change. Confirm directly with the provider before booking — Nook links you straight to each one.
