Cork Launch of Kelloggs Cúl Camps 2013 With the hope of fine weather Coiste Oiliúna (Cork GAA Coaching and

Games Committee) are pleased to announce details of the Kelloggs GAA

Cúl Camps for 2013 in Cork.

Over 95 camps will be taking place around the county commencing on July

1st and finishing on August 23rd. In 2012, 9,600 children attended

Kelloggs GAA Cúl Camps which indicates just how popular the camps are

among the youth population between the ages of 6 and 13.

Speaking at the launch, Cork Coordinator, Noel Crowley outlined the

nature of the camps: "Kellogg's GAA Cúl Camps provide boys and girls -

between the ages of 6 and 13 - with an action-packed and fun-filled week

of activity during the summer holidays which revolves around maximising

enjoyment, building friendships and sustaining participant involvement in

Gaelic Games. Children come to the Kellogg's GAA Cúl camps to have fun,

to enhance their skills and make new friends."

Cian O'Donoghue and Sean Murphy, Under 10s with Bishopstown GAA, are looking forward to this year's Kellogg's Cool Camp, which will be held at numerous venues around the County. Cork Senior Hurlers and Footballers, Patrick Horgan, Anthony Nash, Patrick Cronin, Cathal

Naughton, Ken O'Halloran and Donncha O'Connor, helped launch the Camps at CIT recently. Picture: Mike English

At the camps they are supervised and coached by teams of highly trained

and qualified GAA personnel, who have many years of experience in

organising and running GAA Cul Camps.

It is no wonder that the Kellogg's GAA Cúl Camps are the most popular

summer camps selected annually by Irish parents.

Cork GAA Coaching Officer, Brendan Driscoll commented, "GAA Cúl Camps

are in the second year of a very successful sponsorship by Kellogg's. This

sponsorship has already produced beneficial results for both the GAA and

Kellogg's and Cork GAA looks forward to working with Kellogg's to make

the Cúl Camps even more successful this year and in future years. Get

Your Name in the Game is a hugely successful promotional concept that

has caught the imagination of children the length and breadth of the

country, with the result that in 2012, Cúl Camps attendances increased

significantly." One of the highlights of any camp will be the visit of inter

county players. This will be a key feature of the camps again in 2013. Noel

Crowley points out " a number of inter county players are currently being

lined up to visit camps for photos, autographs and give some coaching tips

to children."

To register for the camps, simply log on

to www.kelloggsculcamps.gaa.ie for details of all the camps around the

county. Remember there are discount vouchers available on all Kelloggs

Corn Flakes and Kelloggs Rice Krispies promotional boxes available in

stores nationwide. You have no excuse now if you don't "Get Your Name

in the Game".
