Speaking about the sponsorship of Starcamp, Chief Executive of Gala Retail, Gary Desmond, comments:
“Gala is proud to announce our continued sponsorship of ‘Starcamp with Gala Retail’ for a second year, supporting Starcamp in its delivery of both National Confidence Day earlier in the year and its annual Summer Camps taking place in communities across Ireland this Summer.
“Both Gala Retail and Starcamp are household names in communities across Ireland and there is a great synergy in this partnership. We are thrilled to sponsor Starcamp and support its delivery of fun and inclusive activity camps for children across the country this Summer.”
Speaking about the upcoming Starcamp with Gala Retail Summer Camps, Founder and Director of Starcamp, Aideen O’Grady said:
“Starcamp with Gala Retail cannot wait to kick off our Summer Camps for 2022! Earlier in the year we launched Ireland’s first ‘National Confidence Day’ with a free virtual show that was packed with activities to help children develop self-confidence and we are continuing that focus with our ‘Be Confident!’ theme for our Summer Camps.
“Our core ethos is about building children's self-esteem and confidence and the activities that we run at the Summer Camps are designed to encourage this. The children are promoted to engage with others and put themselves out there, whether it’s speaking, acting or presenting – they are developing their skills and confidence, without even realising it and all while having fun!”
Starcamp with Gala Retail Summer Camps will be taking place over 250 locations this summer, hosting almost 30,000 children. For more information on Starcamp with Gala Retail and Summer Camp locations and availability, visit www.starcamp.ie.
