Spraoi celebrates
Summer of Fun
06.09.23
AS children settle back to
school, Spraoi agus Spórt in Carndonagh celebrated a
bumper Summer of Fun for 2023.
Helen Nolan, Spraoi agus Spórt CEO, said: “Over 120
children took part daily in our camps this year,
including 80 children with special needs, and 50
Ukrainian children.
“We got fantastic feedback from parents, who say the
camps provided great entertainment and learning
opportunities for their children. On a more serious
note, access to low cost but high-quality activities
took pressure off working families during the long
school holidays." |

Helen added: “We’d like to
thank all those who facilitated or led our summer camp
activities - over 50 people in total. The camps covered
everything from Surfing, Sewing and Stop Motion
Animation to Pottery, Pier Jumping and Parents and
Toddlers sessions. It was our widest range of activities
yet.
“We are proud that our summer camps are inclusive to
those with disabilities because we offer one-to-one
special needs support. Some families choose to holiday
here so their children can access this support, which is
a real plus for our region.” |

Helen said the summer
season got off to a great start with their first
graduation ceremony for Digital Fabrication Certificate
students. Almost 50 Transition Year students from
Moville Community College and Carndonagh Community
School completed an Open Course Network (OCN) Award in
Digital Fabrication.
“The course was run by our Digital Creative Lab and gave
them skills in computer science, design, and product
development. The certificates were presented by
Inishowen Co-Op Manager, Gareth Whitmore, the Lab’s main
sponsors and a proud Spraoi agus Spórt community
partner."
Spraoi agus Spórt are now rolling out a new autumn /
winter schedule. For details of activities and to sign
