Campa Chormaic has been running for 8 years now very successfully. It has been so successful that in recent years, we have added the second camp to Campa Chormaic Aontroma. The campa visits Tyrone, Armagh, Down and Antrim and is a must for any young Gael interested in sport and craic. The campa was started in 2005 to remember Cormac McAnallen and to promote the ideals with which he lived his life: his country, his language, his heritage and of course his Gaelic games.
We hope that 2012 will be as special as previous years. Campa Chormaic has achieved its own unique place in the summer camp calendar as there is no similar camp in Ireland. Campa Chormaic is a summer camp for young people aged between 9 and 16 years old which comprises of Irish language class in a fun way in the morning and Gaelic games training sessions in the afternoon with a chance to meet your county heroes throughout the week.
