Week One of Kellogg’s Cul Camps – Clontibret, Clones, Toome and Carrickmacross

Week One of Kellogg’s Cul Camps – Clontibret, Clones, Toome and Carrickmacross

On Monday the 29th of June, the Kellogg’s Cul Camp’s kicked into action with four camps taking place in Clontibret, Clones, Toome and Carrickmacross. Overall the camps proved to be a massive success with the attendance at all four camps up from the previous year. In Clontibret 152 boys and girls attended the camp, 111 children took part in the camp in Clones, 106 children attended the camp in Carrickmacross and 49 in Toome, which was nearly double the number of children who took part in the camp from the previous year. In total there was over 100 extra children who took part in the same four camps as 2014.

One of the big factors in the high number of children in the camps was the fine weather. We were lucky that we were blessed with good weather and sunshine all week which added to the enjoyment levels for the children and coaches alike. Each of the participants who attended the camps got an opportunity to play football, hurling, camogie, rounders and handball. K

On top of this county players Rory Beggan and Ryan McAnespie were coaching at the camps. It’s great for the children to come and learn from our county hero’s, which will hopefully inspire them to want to play for their county team in the future. Rory attended all four camps over the week, where he completed a number of different challenges against the children. This seemed to go down well with the children and it’s something to look out for the remainder of the camps. On the Friday of the camp we were lucky to have Dessie Mone and Neil McAdam attend the Clontibret Cul Camp to help present the certificates, we would just like to thank them for giving up their time to come and attend the camp.

Monaghan Coaching & Games Development Committee would like to thank the host clubs for providing their excellent facilities and for supporting and promoting the camps. Furthermore they would like to thank camp co-ordinators, coaches, parents and children for their help in ensuring the camps where a success.

We currently have three camps running this week in Castleblayney, Monaghan Harps and Inniskeen. We still have 11 camps to take place over the course of July so if your child isn’t registered yet and you would like to send them, you can still do so. Just log onto the Kellogg’s Cul Camp website and register your details. It is important to note that after the 1st of July , if you register your child on the camp after this date they are NOT guaranteed to receive the Kellogg’s Cul Camp backpack in the Monaghan colours.

The cost of the camp is €55 for the first child, €45 for the second child and €40 for every child after that. Each child received a free backpack, half zip training top and a Cul Camps jersey.

If you would like any further information about the camp please do not hesitate to contact county coordinator Paul O’Connor (086 837 4827) and he will be glad to help.
