Applications are now open for Clubs and Counties to host Teenage Summer Camp

The Camogie Association are seeking host clubs or counties to expand the number of teenage summer camps across the country. These camps were piloted in 2023 and feedback was very positive from all involved. Each camp incorporates camogie with other activities; for example, other sports, hobbies, interests, leadership talks and is for girls aged 13-17 years.

This camp targets teenage girls who enjoy the social aspect of camogie, enjoy spending time with their friends and trying other activities. This camp should tap into other interests camogie players may have.

These camps will be 12 hours across a 3 days (or more if desired), which can be done in the evening or during the day).

Each day must consist of at least 2 camogie sessions (skills, games, fun games) and 2 other activities per day – 6 different activities throughout the week.
Examples such as friendship bracelets, old school games, painting/decorating hurls & sliotars, dance, social media/photography, volleyball, baking, music and leadership. Be as creative as you wish with the activities.

Supply hoodies for each participant- note hoodie order needs to go in 6-8 weeks before the camp to arrive on time. So only registrations received by then will receive hoodie on time.

The overarching aim is to provide, inspire and support more teenage girls to be more involved in Camogie. We are aiming to provide this opportunity to motivate young girls to enjoy playing camogie, build their confidence and empower them to play more camogie in a relaxed environment while also incorporating other things that they may be interested in.
