During the months of July and August, Down GAA is hosting 46 Kellogg's Cul Camps across the county.

Last year over 6000 children attended the camps in Down and if numbers attending camps in the last three weeks is anything to go by, Down GAA will see another hike in overall attendance figures this year.

The Kellogg's Down GAA Cúl Camps are run over an 8 week period and provide boys and girls – between the ages of 5 and 13 – with an action-packed and fun-filled week of activity which revolves around maximising enjoyment and sustaining participant involvement in Gaelic Games.  Activities are player-centred with a Games Based approach with a strong emphasis being placed on personal development and well-being. Activities are organised in an age-appropriate manner with a view to: 

• Optimise learning
• Enhance friendships
• Improve physical & psychological Well-being
• Promote school and club links

The Camps take place between 10am and 2.30pm and costs of the camps (for children currently in P3 and above) are only £50.00 for 1st child, £45.00 for second child and £40.00 for the 3rd and subsequent children.  The price includes each child receiving Kellogg's GAA gear and backpack. For children attending a second camp, without gear, the cost £40.00.  Camps can be either booked directly with Clubs or via the online booking system: www.kelloggsculcamps.gaa.ie/booking/online/
