This is the sixth year that the Campaí Samhraidh have been run in the area. As usual, Campaí were held in Lackagh and Carnmore and for the first time ever, in Claregalway. Children came from as far as Mountbellew, Abbeyknockmoy, Galway City and Castlegar as well as the immediate areas of Claregalway, Carnmore, Lackagh and Turloughmore.
The weather blessed the tours to Connemara, County Clare and the swimming pool in Clarinbridge. The camp ended with a concert in Lackagh which was packed with the families and friends of the children who attended the course. The Coiste would like to thank the teachers, helpers, students and parents, Craobh na naicreidh and especially Peadar Mullins and Udarás na Gaeltachta.

Seo an Seú bhlian a bhí na campaí samhradh ar suil sa ceantair. Bhí ceann san chéad uair riabh i mBaile Chlár na Gaillimhe agus bhí na cinn eile ar súil i Cairn Mór agus Leacach.
Arís i mbliana bhí na campaí pacáilte le scolairí as mBaile Chlár, Cairn Mór, Leacach, Cathair na Gaillimhe, Mountbellew, Abbeyknockmoy, Cartymore, Turloughmore, Caisleáin Gearr agus Coolarne. Bhí na campaí samhraidh chomh beannaithe leis an aimsir go dtí go raibh turas go dtí Conamara, Contae an Chlár agus an Linn Snámha i Droichead an Chláirin.
Ag deireadh na campaí bhí an halla pobail i Leacach plodaithe ag an ceolchoirm nuair a bhí na daltaí ag teaspaint an ceol, an dramaiocht, na damhsaí, na hamhráin agus an sport a d’fhoghlaigh siad ag an cursa.
Ba mhaith leis an coiste buíochas a ghlacadh leis na muinteoirí ar fad, na cinnirí, na dhaltaí agus na tuismitheorí, craogh na hAicréidh agus go mor mor ag Peadar Ó Maolaoinn agus Udarás na Gaeltachta.
