SLIDESHOW: Inclusive Cúl Camp hailed by CSP ‘a major success’

Now in its second year, Clare Sports Partnership (CSP) in conjunction with Clare GAA, have had a very successful camp around the provision of inclusive activities for children with autism who may struggle to attend a mainstream Cúl Camp.

The collaboration of many different organisations including Ennis Voices for Autism (EVA), The Clare Crusaders and CÉIS plays an imperative role in supporting the running of the camp.

Building on the success of last year’s camp, Clare Sports Partnership aimed to increase the offering of inclusive camps for children with disabilities this year. This first of the inclusive camps took place in conjunction with Derg AC and the final camp in conjunction with Bridge Utd takes place at the end of the month.

“We had 60 children take part in this camp and it is important to note that the camp would not happen without the 50 amazing coaches and volunteers who put so much time and effort in to making the days enjoyable for the children” said James Murrihy, Sports Inclusion Disability Officer with CSP.

He continued to say “this year we converted two dressing rooms into sensory rooms to allow the children to take breaks from the outdoor stations at camp. Following a request on social medial we are very thankful for all the equipment that was donated and made available for the children to enjoy”.

EVA secretary, Gearoid Mannion said, “This camp is hugely beneficial to our children who usually find activities very challenging and the feedback from all the families participating has been fantastic.”
