A group of shinty playing girls from Portree High School have the amazing, once in a lifetime , opportunity to go to a jam packed Camp in New Jersey USA in June 2024. To help make this possible they are looking at various ways of fundraising. There is a year long programme of work in the lead up to the camp. Fundraising has already started in School and they hope to continue this by adding sponsored events, online events and much much more. Catherine Robertson, the pupil who lives in Harlosh and therefore in the Dunvegan Community Area, has her own baking honesty box at the end of her drive, where locals can buy freshly baked goods to support her fundraising goals.
Dunvegan Community Trust has awarded Catherine £1000.00 to go towards their fundraising goal. The money granted will help towards the travel and accommodation costs to and from New Jersey and Insurances and Visas required. This trip will be an incredible opportunity for the pupils involved promoting sport and activity amongst girls while also promoting our Scottish culture abroad.
