The Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camps Kit is a huge part of the Camps with mass appeal among primary school children and due to current circumstances, Camp schedules may be reduced in certain counties and this has prompted the GAA to pursue the option of making Kits available for sale for children who may not get the option to participate in the 2020 Camp programme.
