Whether you are looking for an adventure, an educational experience or time to relax and tune into nature, AWOL Outdoor Adventure, in Killybrone, County Monaghan, offers a wide range of activities to suit your needs. Choose from paintball, stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, archery and wilderness survival. Safety is a priority and instructions are provided.

The paintballing area includes bunkers, huts, a jungle, bridges, forts, an ammo dump, aeroplane, oil dump and much more. Different missions are set up and well maintained equipment is provided.

SUP or stand up paddle boarding is a safe way to enjoy the water, either by a splash and dash session with the kids, or a more formal two hour lesson.

Open canoeing on flat water gives you the chance to slow down and take pleasure in the countryside for tranquil family trips or for the more adventurous, down the white water rapids. The canoes tend to be wide and secure, which makes them popular with beginners and those who find kayaks restricting.

A kayak safari is a thrilling downstream river run over rollercoaster wave trains, haystack and stopper waves. You will be instructed along the way. Wetsuits and buoyancy aids are provided. Water sports generally are for ages 10 years and up. There are no changing rooms at the meeting point.

Archery is offered in one hour sessions, suitable for ages 8 years and up.

Wilderness survival activities run over a night or two where you will learn how to build a shelter, light a camp fire, cook outdoors and more. All types of groups are catered for such as youth clubs, schools, birthday parties, church groups, families, community groups, stag and hen parties, team building and football teams.
