Halloween Camp at Rathwood: Midterm Fun for Kids

13 October 2026

Halloween Camp at Rathwood

Looking for something to keep the kids busy this midterm? Our Halloween Camp is back at Rathwood, and it's packed with frightfully fun activities in the Ark Playcentre.

Tuesday 27 to Friday 30 October, 10am to 2pm. €30 per child, lunch included.

How it works

Halloween Camp is a drop-off camp for children aged up to 10. Drop the kids off at 10am and collect them at 2pm. Every day runs the same programme, so you can simply pick the day that suits you. There's no need to book the whole week.

What's on

Get creative

Face painting, pumpkin painting, and arts and crafts. Expect plenty of colour, and plenty of mess.

Teddy bear making

Every child makes their own teddy bear and takes it home at the end of the day.

Halloween treats

Cookie making and toffee apple making, with a chance to taste the results.

Apple bobbing and our Spooky Doors. Spooky, but always friendly.

Hungry campers are well looked after. Lunch is included in the price: chicken nuggets, sausages and fries.
