Surfing Summer Camps

Due to the huge success of our camps last year Kinsale Surf Adventures are now taking bookings for 2014 Summer Camps.

We will  run mega camps during the summer holidays for students that want to sign up for a full week of surfing, coasteering, beach games, marine & water safety education and more! Camps will run from 10am-2pm. Options in June, July & August 2014.

Our hope is to educate and foster a love and appreciation for the ocean and nature. To enhance self-confidence, self esteem and connect our kids to strong community role models. We teach fun sustainable ocean related activities and the importance of conserving the environment & water safety. The students will return from our camps with new skills, friends, and knowledge that can benefit them now and all through their lives.

Hurling/Camogie training: help needed

From Sept / Oct 2014, the parents are organising hurling/camogie training for Rang 1 - 6. We need help especially for the younger classes (Rang 1- 3), as these classes have bigger numbers and the more help we have, the more the children will learn and develop. Hurling experience not necessary, as it will mainly focus on a few basic skills along with running/jumping/throwing/catching etc. A coach-the-coaches session can be organised if necessary. If interested/curious please contact Eithne Fitzpatrick(087 7551621).
