Gallery: Campa Chois na hAbhann summer camp in Eslin

In early August, Eslin pitch and community was a hive of activity as they held their first ever Campa Chois na hAbhann summer camp.
This was a four day camp held directly after the August bank holiday and provided fun and activity for over 60 children aged 4-12 years of age.
It was very much a community affair, with lots of local adults and teenagers joining in the planning and running of the camp.
A competition earlier in the year was opened to the children of the community to design a logo for the camp with Callum Kilcrann winning this.
This very logo was used for the fabulous camp t-shirts and bags which are still spotted around the community.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank Lorraine and Tina from Krafty Korner for teaching the children how to design and create their own characters from pasta.
