Just came across your blog –

I am currently working on preparations for Limerick’s forthcoming CentreStage Performing Arts Summer Camps. The Camps are recognised as the first of their kind in Ireland and have proved to be very popular among young people with an interest in the performing arts from the Mid West and further afield.

I came across the Puddleducks website today and would be keen to get our camp featured on your site.

Would it be possible for you to get back to me on what we would have to do to get a listing on your summer camps section.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Nigel Dugdale
PR Co-ordinator

Many Thanks, Helen Creedon

And of course don’t forget that there are loads of Irish Language camps (Campaí Samhraidh) too. Check out http://www.ogras.ie/campaisamhraidh.php and http://www.concos.ie. Failing that give http://www.gaeilge.ie a call for info in your own locality. They do plenty of outdoor activities too and the Irish Language has a TRUCK load of words for your favourite weather

And that’s it from your friendly Irish Language fanatic,
