Our 2021 Summer Camps, which were sponsored by The Sligo Champion, have concluded after nine sell out weeks.
The camps, which kicked off at the end of June, proved to be a big hit as the first eight weeks sold out in a matter of days when the booking system opened in May.
Due to the popularity of the camps, the club added an extra week which also sold out shortly after going on sale.
The club would like to put on record our thanks to the coaches, children and families who made this year’s camps such a success.
Camp Coordinator, Shane Crossan spoke of this delight at the success of the Summer Camps and added “It’s been a fantastic nine weeks for everyone involved and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the camps. A special mention must go to The Sligo Champion for their kind sponsorship yet again. Every participant on the camp received an official Sligo Rovers training top and its fantastic to see so many children wearing club merchandise with pride”.
Lorraine Mc Donnell, General Manager of The Sligo Champion added “It has been a challenging year for everyone and we, at The Sligo Champion, were delighted to see the Summer Camps back up and running in The Showgrounds. It is our pleasure to sponsor an event which attracts so many participants from our community. We are delighted to be associated with Sligo Rovers and we are already looking forward to next year. Huge credit to everyone involved in making the camps so enjoyable for everyone”.
The next camp in The Showgrounds will take place at Halloween, from October 25th until the 29th.
Details of the booking system will be announced in the coming weeks.
The Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council Councillor Paul Taylor has commended the volunteers from Sligo Rovers and their neighbours at the Nazareth House for their involvement in the ‘Common Goal’ project.
An initiative supported by SSE Airtricity and the FAI, the aim of the project is for clubs to promote and implement strategies in order to enhance their local environment.
According to Councillor Taylor ‘Common Goal’ is an “excellent community initiative. It is important that local institutions such as Sligo Rovers lead out on these projects, as this serves to promote their many benefits to the wider community”.
The club focused on the ‘community clean’ theme for this month, with club staff, volunteers and members of the underage conducting a litter pick on the grounds of Nazareth House. The club enjoy a strong partnership with our neighbours in Nazareth House and we were delighted to be able to assist them with a litter pick.
Shane Crossan, Marketing Officer, explained the background to the project: “There are a few strands to the scheme, each focused on environmental themes, with our ultimate aim of developing a new sustainability plan for the Club. We look forward to working with Sligo County Council to progress this plan over the coming months”.
Noel Scott, who coordinated Nazareth House involvement in the project, said “The first phase of the series is under the banner ‘Community Cleans’ which was carried out this week by members of Rovers under age teams, and already we can see the positive results of their efforts”.
The next element of the ‘Common Goal’ project will see the club undertaking initiatives in conjunction with water efficiency.
The ‘Common Goal’ committee is made up of Shane Crossan, Noel Scott, Kevin Colreavy, Anthony Quinn and Conor O’ Grady.
Our 2021 Summer Camps have been extended by one week and will now finish up on August 27th.
Originally planned for eight weeks, the camps sold out extremely quick and left some of our younger supporters disappointed about not getting a place.
The extra week of the camp will take place in The Showgrounds from August 23rd – 27th.
Places will be capped to 70 participants and the bookings will be first come first served. Please note all bookings must be made online.
