This
blog entry contains information about parent meetings to gain an
understanding of the 2013 summer Devil Pup camp experience. This
summer's camp is from
Thursday, 18 July, through Saturday, 27 July at Marine Corps Base,
Camp Pendleton on the California coast, midway between San Diego and Los
Angeles. We provide transportation to the camp, and respectfully
request
that the parents attend the graduation ceremony, as it is a peak
experience in
the young lives of their children. Parents are responsible for
transportation home from Camp Pendleton.
Before your permission can be sought, you might wish
background information on the program. For that reason, we have set aside
two evenings next week at which we can meet and enlighten parents on the value
of this program in the development of their youngster. Although you may
not have heard of the program, it has graduated over 50,000 young people over
the years of its existence, after an intensive ten-day course whose motto is
"Growth through challenge."
We have set aside these dates:
Tuesday, 23 April
Wednesday, 24 April
Please choose one of the dates that is most convenient for
your family. Both evening meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. in Conference Rooms
A and B in the basement of the Washington County Library, 88 W. 100 So., St.
George. The meetings convene at 6:00 p.m. and we must surrender the room
at library closing - 7:30 p.m. You might want a notebook and pen for notes.
My staff and I (all volunteers) are looking forward to
meeting each of you.
