Dear Friends, Campers, Staff, and All, Camp season is coming! We’ve secured Toah Nipi in the beautiful woods of Rindge, New Hampshire, for Sunday, July 10 – Sunday, July 17, 2016. Back for her third year, Mrs. Kris Anne Hall, a vigorous young mother will again be teaching about heroic men and women from our countryʼs founding, and the documents of freedom leading up to it. There will be a whole line-up of speakers and teachers, with more to be announced. Other returning instructors or mentors include with Mr. Peik,Mr. Shurtleff, Mr. Hoderny, Mr. “V,” and me. Mr. Peik will again lead Campfires, the Round Robin for Student Input and Q & A, and weʼll even find time for a final exam to help you see your progress! Family Camp is growing! We will again conduct the Junior Patriot Camp Program, making for a truly great family vacation! We welcome families with younger children, or no children, plus grandparents, and others (See worksheet for family accommodations.) We always have a wonderful group of young people and it is so good to see them interacting well with the little ones, with each other, with the grown ups, and even with us ancient ones! There’s the big historical field trip to the John Adams homestead as well as some local field trips. Your friends are probably coming, and they’ll want to see you, too! We look forward to reading your articles and poems in the camp paper and seeing more of your artwork in the cabins and newspaper! Lend your voice to those melodic old favorites sung at campfire, and join in the creative merriment of new skits and those wonderful old – and new – corny jokes! Right now, let us think of others who would benefit from camp and invite them to make this investment in their (and Americaʼs) future! Then letʼs all be there! – work hard, play hard, and nurture lasting friendships from previous camps, while making new friends for the future..
