AS the primary school summer hol1- days loom close, bookings are cur- rently being taken for a variety of summer camps in the Shannon area.
One of the main camps this sum- mer is being run by the local youth office. The office has provided sum- mer activities for children, aged be- tween nine and 13, for more than 30
years.
This year, five days of summer camp have been planned and will go ahead between July 1 and 5, at the Respond Community Building, R1- neanna View.
The camp is offered to young peo- ple in Shannon and the surrounding areas of Cratloe, Sixmilebridge and Newmarket-on-Fergus.
The summer camp activities on of-
fer will include arts and crafts, inflat- able fun day, storytelling, quizzes, bowling, quasar, soccer, swimming, day trips to Lahinch Seaworld and Ailwee Cave. It also offers young volunteers aged 17 and over from the area a chance to train and become a leader for the duration of the camp.
The camp costs €65 for the five days, while family rates are also available on request.
Applications will be accepted un- til Friday, June 27. Two registration days will take place, between 4pm and 7pm, this Thursday and Friday (June 12 and 13).
Local businesses EI Electronics and Schwarz Pharma will sponsor the summer camp this year.
