Funding means that Summer Camps on the Northside are Ok
By Patricia O’Dea
More than 200 young people from Limerick’s northside are to take part in summer fun and learning camps over the coming two months.
The ‘Northside We’re Ok Youth Initiative’ is investing €23,000 to assist run nine summer camps. They run from the last week in June to the end of August and cater for all ages, from 4-19 years.
“Without ‘We’re Ok’ we wouldn’t be able to run our summer camp. We rely on external funding because people wouldn’t be able to afford the rates we would have to charge without the assistance from ‘We’re Ok’,” said a grateful Susan O’Neill, co-ordinator of St. Munchin’s Community Development Project.
The camps include a range of activities including day trips to a variety of locations. “Our camps cover sport, music, arts and crafts and much more. In this way the interests of young people are catered for,” said Sean Ward, project worker for ‘We’re Ok.’
The organisations that received funding were Moyross Community Enterprise Centre, St. Munchin’s Community Development Programme, St Munchin’s Family Resource Centre, Northside Youth Café, Follow Your Dream Programme, School Completion Programme, Limerick Football Academy, LIT Sarsfields and Summer Music on the Shannon.
As well as funding the summer programme ‘We’re Ok’ work in partnership with the above organisations throughout the year by providing continuous support and providing drug education, as well as taking a hand’s on approach to help facilitate some of the camps.
The majority of the camps run Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm. Some of the camps are free and the maximum charge per kid is €25. Family discounts also apply.
The ‘Northside We’re Ok Youth Initiative’ is a drugs education and prevention programme to provide support to young people aged 10-21 and their families living on the Northside of Limerick city, which is funded by the Young People’s Facilities and Services Fund.
