A bit of magic at Starcamp
Be under no illusion, the official launch of Starcamp 2019 was pure magic!
As Starcamp kicks-off its biggest summer camp line up to date, it has teamed up with mind magician Keith Barry to send out a national reminder to parents everywhere that the use of the imagination, courage and self-esteem are incredibly positive tools for children for life.
Starcamp 2019 was launched at the Triskel Arts Centre where children were spellbound by Keith’s magic. They also got to interview the world famous magician where the Starcamp junior reporters found out that he wanted to be a vet but didn’t get the points for college, that he almost became an inventor of women’s makeup, that he practiced magic until his fingers bled, he has tricked Bono, Nicole Scherzinger and Morgan Freeman, and that he loves fishing.
“Starcamp is for everyone, not just the born performers,” Keith said.
Starcamp 2019, as always, will include singing, hip-hop, acting, arts and crafts, confidence building, news-reporting, camp games, superheroes, star Olympics and surprises galore but there will be a special focus this year on magic, the use of the imagination and comedy. This year's line-up of shows include Toy Story 4, The Lion King, Mary Poppins and David Walliams’ Gangsta’ Granny for the older kids. There will be George Ezra sing-offs, Disney classics and pop galore. The arts and crafts section will be imaginative and exciting and kids love using the microphones for the news reporting and interview section.
“Children simply need to play, pretend, dream and be happy in a safe environment, where they are encouraged and praised,” said Aideen O’ Grady, Starcamp Director.
