The province wide Ulster Rugby Summer Camps, sponsored by local retail group Centra, are for boys and girls aged 6-12 years and will run between June 30 and August 22.  Each camp is five days long and registration for the week costs £50 to include a t-shirt, a boot bag, a rugby ball and a voucher to claim a free ticket to an Ulster game at Ravenhill. There are also four camps specifically for girls’ aged 12-17 in Belfast, Lurgan, Clogher Valley and City of Derry, and two camps for children with special needs in south Belfast and Coleraine. The ever popular senior camp for 13-17 year olds with previous rugby experience will take place at University of Ulster, Jordanstown. Camp application forms are being distributed to schools and rugby clubs across Ulster and are also available from local Centra stores. Details of this year’s Summer Camps, including venues and online booking are available at www.ulsterrugby.com The “Design a Mascot” competition is open to school children across Northern Ireland and the lucky winner will receive a free place at the Summer Camp of their choice. Entry forms will be delivered to primary schools over the coming weeks but are also available to download from www.ulsterrugby.com The competition closes on Friday June 20 and the winner will be announced by June 28.
