As the name suggests, summer camps are seasonal, and operators have a short window of opportunity to make hay while the sun shines

As summer holidays beckon, bookings are filling up. It's a welcome development for businesses which had to restrict numbers and cancel camps during the pandemic.

The summers of 2020 and 2021 were challenging and difficult with smaller camps, scaled back activities and no interaction between groups of children. Insurance costs continue to rise, particularly for businesses working in recreational activities."Insurance costs have doubled," Eileen said,"but you just have to build it into your costs".

A lot of Let's Go summer camps are sold out, and some even sold out in January. Eileen expects all the camps to be more or less full for the summer, by the start of June. Activities at Starcamp include singing, dancing, acting, magic, and illusions, and for children who would like to explore a future career in broadcasting, there is also news and weather reporting.

In 2021, they were forced to find outdoor venues last minute when the Taoiseach announced there would be no indoor events due to Covid. "It's a really nice summer job, they engage with the kids, and they have fun. It's Monday to Friday, they're off at 2.30 and weekends, so it is a fabulous summer job for students."

"We're just conscious of where parents are at, and we want as many children to experience the camps as we can." The Cúl Camps have become a set piece of the GAA calendar, with children getting 20 hours of coaching in hurling, football, and camogie, often from local heroes playing at inter-county level.

Can't afford to send my kids there. I'm m down 60 euro a week on petrol. Food, gas and ESB bills are through the roof. This farce of a government is doing nothing to reduce bills. Endless bullshit spin about saving the fucking planet
