Elementary and middle school students had an opportunity to have fun while at the same time learning about the Founding Fathers and the importance of the Constitution and Bill of Rights at a Freedom Camp held in December 2013.

I hope that kind of education comes back into fashion again, along with more frequent recess and exercise periods. Take those fat little legs and run around here and there. Teach them how our government is meant to be run, not the idealized manner that’s being enforced on us right now.

Lee: I am seeing more and more parents that realize how our American history is being trashed and looking for alternatives to the anti-freedom curriculum being presented in the public school. Thanks for posting.

can’t teach anything that would enlighten or “offend” the homosexuals at these camps

There is a summer camp called Camp USA some place in Ohio. My friend took her children there for a week and said it was wonderful. Kids learned the Constitution, Early American history, and the rudiments of politics in a fun environment.

hey, nothing surprises me anymore after the GLADD and Duck Dynasty fiasco. On the other hand if children who have been taught that they are Gay or transexual turn up they might learn a thing or two? Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting about Camp USA. I will check it out and add it to my research files. Appreciate your post.

If I can remember (old age) I will ask my friend if she has any info on it.
