Announcing the Northwest Regional "Not Your Soldier" camp - a student activist training camp for youth 13-22 years old.
August 29- Sept. 1, 2005 near Goldendale, WA sliding scale, $25-$250 SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE price includes meals, housing, transportation, activities and workshops
to register, go to www.notyoursoldier.org
Local contact for this camp is: Committee for Countering Military Recruitment countermilitary@yahoo.com 343-8548 ext. 1
We are arranging for bus transportation to bring folks to the camp. One bus will depart from Port Townsend and head south, picking up campers on the way to Goldendale. The other bus will begin in Eugene and head north to meet us there.
The camp is being hosted by the Teen Peace Project in Port Townsend, WA, assisted by students from Seattle and Eugene, Oregon. The camps are a joint project of the Ruckus Society, Code Pink, War Resisters League and Teen Peace. This will be the first of several camps offered across the country. For more information, visit- www.notyoursoldier.org
Students have been involved in planning the camp- selecting the location, workshops and activities. The focus of this event is to empower young people to return to high school and college campuses ready to oppose military recruitment and work to demilitarize their schools.
We need financial support, and any contributions will be used to offer student scholarships. We also need help to spread the word- we are nearing our first day of camp!
For questions about the northwest camp, contact Liz at 360-379-9094.
Peace, Liz Rivera Goldstein www.teenpeace.org

4. They lie and tell them anything |
|
if it's not written down, it doesn't matter. The young needs to have other young people telling them this, not us old parents who don't know anything.

5. There is still room for more kids. Scholarships available. |

Don't not sign up because of lack of money as they are very willing to help out.
