Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps is launching a unique camp, titled Cúl and Curious, to introduce children from migrant families to the joy of Gaelic Games and foster a sense of belonging within the GAA community.
Supporting Kellogg’s as ambassadors for the launch are Galway powerhouse Damien Comer and Cork Camogie superstar Amy O’Connor. These Gaelic Games stars will also take part in the Cúl and Curious camp, to show the young participants the skills of both Gaelic football and camogie.
Taking place in Lisdoonvarna, Co. Clare, the Cúl and Curious camp will welcome 100 children, including those residing in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres as well as those from local communities. The introductory camp offers an opportunity to experience the joy of Gaelic Games and become part of the vibrant GAA community, with those from IPAS curious to learn more about Gaelic Games having the opportunity to sign up for the full week of Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps during the summer.
This year, Kellogg’s is continuing its popular on-pack promotion, giving GAA clubs across the country the chance to win a game-changing €25,000 cash prize for their club. Plus, 30 lucky individuals will be in with a chance of winning €500 for nominating their club.
Damien spoke to John Mulligan
We are proud to continue our partnership with the GAA for the 14th year,” said Shauna Lenagh, General Manager of Kellanova Ireland (the company that owns Kellogg’s): “Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps play a vital role in communities across Ireland, providing children with a fun experience while promoting the importance of physical activity and teamwork. This year’s focus on inclusivity for children from migrant families is particularly important to us so we can ensure better inclusivity at the camps and extend the reach of Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps to even more children. This initiative reinforces Kellogg’s unwavering commitment to supporting the grassroots of the GAA and empowering local communities.”
Uachtarán, Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Jarlath Burns, echoed this sentiment: “Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps are an integral part of the GAA calendar, providing children with unforgettable summer memories while nurturing their passion for Gaelic games. We are grateful for Kellogg’s continued support and their commitment to making these camps accessible to children from all walks of life and bringing life to our manifest of a GAA Where We All Belong.”
The Cúl and Curious camp was organised in close collaboration with Clare Sports Partnership, whose expertise and local knowledge were instrumental in ensuring the event could take place. Their dedication to promoting sport and physical activity within the community has been invaluable in bringing this event to life.
