2022 Summer Camps

  • Fight For Freedom Event

    Fight For Freedom Event hosted by People's Rights, Guided by David Reece

    The event is focused on constitutional rights, individual liberty, survival skills and emergency medical skills. There will be a couple of fun optional activities that accompany the event classes that are offered. There are two concerts that are available for participants to attend in the evenings, as well as an optional church service and BBQ on Sunday before we leave if anyone would like to go. A few of the speakers who will be presenting are Krisanne Hall (a constitutional lawyer who teaches on the importance of upholding the constitution and knowing our constitutionally held rights), Seth Keshel (election integrity), Ben Edtl with Free Oregon, and Trevor Loudon (an expert on the dangers of communism).

    Cost: $100 (food and fuel) + donation for the cost of the tickets for entry as the tickets were donated with the stipulation that each family would donate what they are able for the cost of their child to attend, see below:

    - The tickets were donated by People's Rights to Envision, but they have asked for a donation from each participant's parents to help with the cost of the event. For reference, the normal cost of tickets for entry is $100/person. I would suggest donating at least $30 for the 2 and a half day event if you are able! Please send extra cash with your child so they can make this donation at registration at the event.

    Lodging: this will be an additional cost for the experience unless we are able to secure a donated cabin or house to stay in in Redmond, Sisters, Bend, Sunriver or Madras. Prineville or Powell Butte are options as well. Please put the feelers out to see if we can find a place to stay for free. I would like to stay in a house all together to facilitate evening hang out time, some meals and further connection as a group
