Your ultimate scout + guide camp
Our designated Scout and Guide campsite can accommodate hundreds of Scouts + Guides from all around the world.
Welcome to the Scout + Guide side of IOAC.ie!
We are Ireland’s newest independently run Scout and Guide campsite and have our very own Adventure Centre on the same campus! So, for all you eager scouts and guides out there, come and have great fun and adventure at the IOAC!!
Climb that High Ropes tower, shoot your Scouter in our archery Battlezone, use your knot tying and lashing skills to build the best raft on our lake, and so much more!
For Leaders, our aim is that once you arrive at our gates and see our banners, you too can enjoy your camp! You can book your stay and all your activities long before you arrive at the IOAC!
If the outdoors don’t suit you check out The Adventure Academy our indoor accommodation!

Things to Do
National Heritage Park
Evidence of Ireland’s unique and distinctive history is all around us, in the many monument sites and features to be seen across the island. But where can you go to see how people lived? What if you could compare a Stone Age settlement with a Viking Settlement and see how they differed and what they had in common?
That was the idea behind The Irish National Heritage Park.
Wexford Town
Visit Wexford Town and Harbour on your next camp! With historical trails tours through the town, or shopping, there are a lot of options for your group to spend a great day out!
The Irish Experience
Get out of your comfort zone and into your “adventure zone” as we take you on a journey hiking to the summits of stunning mountains, kayaking down through the picturesque valleys on our beautiful yet exciting rivers, or even on into our magical marine wildlife packed ocean along the stunning south-east coastline and into the recesses of amazing sea caves on our fun filled Sea kayak Experience.
Surf Shack
With fun waves and safe water it makes Curracloe the ideal beach for the first time surfer. They offer surf lessons for both adults and kids of all abilities. Along with this they offer SUP and a load of fun activities to do on the beach including Sandboarding & Bodyboarding. Surf Lessons and Rentals available daily on Curracloe Beach in June, July & Aug. They also facilitate groups for group lessons too.
Hook Lighthouse
Journey through the ages of the world’s oldest working lighthouse and learn the tales and fascinating stories of those who spent their lives watching over the safety of those at sea from your first meeting with the life-sized hologram figure of St. Dubhan, who tells of perishing nights spent with his fellow monks in the 5th century warning sailors against the dangers with a beacon they kept alight on the headland
Designated Scout and Guide Campsite
The multi-award winning 4-Star IOAC campus includes its very own designated
International Scout and Guide camping grounds! This ensures that scouts and guides can complete their adventurous programmes in a safe and inclusive manner.
These camping grounds were developed by Scouts for Scouts and Guides to enjoy. Our reception team will assist your group in organising that perfect camp, taking some of the pressure off organisers!
Whether you have 10 or 300 campers we can accommodate and assist in planning and organising both onsite activities and other adventures in Co Wexford! Still not sure? We can facilitate a campus visit with your organisers and our IOAC Team to visualise and help plan the camp. Reach out and organise an adventure your Scouts & Guides will remember forever!
