Principles of Good Government
Ages 15+

July 9-11

"The government is us; we are the government, you and I."
-Theodore Roosevelt

Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington; these men knew the principles of good government and instilled them in the constitution. What forms and principles will you need to know to impact the world? What does is take to become a statesman? At this conference we answer these questions through:

• Colloquia
  • The Giver by Lois Lowry
  • The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
  • Alas Babylon by Pat Frank
  • Plato's Cave
  • For Whom the Bell Tolls by John Donne
• Simulation
• Lecture/Discussion
• Mentoring from a counselor
