Summer camp season kicked off in June with the club's first ever 'Advanced Camp', sponsored by Ray Cooke Auctioneers and aimed at 13-16 year olds. While summer camps for Primary school children have long been a club feature, this year was the first attempt to facilitate teenagers during the summer months. 

The Club's Coaching Group put together a bespoke programme for the camp attendees: in addition to football, hurling and camogie activities each day, the camp covered lifestyle, nutrition and athletic development topics tailored specifically for teenagers.

Equally impressive was the fantastic line-up of camp coaches, including Carla Rowe(Dublin Ladies Senior Footballer); Hannah Tyrrell (Na Fianna & Dublin Ladies Senior Footballer and former Ireland Rugby player); Dotsy O'Callaghan (former Dublin Hurler); Eoghan O'Donnell (Dublin Senior Hurler); Sean Bugler (Dublin Senior Footballer); Cormac Costelloe (Dublin Senior Footballer); Orla Gray (Na Fianna and Dublin Senior Camogie Player); Ciara Tierney (Na Fianna and Dublin Senior Camogie Player); and Stephen O'Shaughnessy (Dublin GAA Football Development Officer and former Dublin Senior Footballer). 

The quality of this camp is a credit to Na Fianna's Coaching Group. Feedback from all has been very positive, so we hope we'll see this happen again.
