Activities for non-sailing Teenagers I was thinking of organising some activities for the older siblings who will be hanging around Dunmore East for the week of the Nationals. My thoughts so far are:
I have a recommendation for Oceanic Surf School in Tramore and should get a group deal for a day or two if we book in advance.
There is an adventure centre in Dunmore East who do windsurfing, kayaking (choice of sea cave etc. or river barrow), orienteering and they also have a climbing wall.http://www.dunmoreadventure.com/index.htm
There are public tennis courts with courts bookable in advance. If there was a "tennis mom" or Dad they might like to organise a round robin.
There is a group bringing Laser 4.7's .
I think if we get a group booked into an activity (surfing the most likely) maybe on Monday that will get some momentum going socially for them early in the week.
If you would like to be included in this booking please let me know . I am going to book it w/c 9th August.
Let me know your thoughts email, call or text 086 8058220. (I have no email access until 8th August)
