Since 2010, Camp Constitution has been participating in Massachusetts Homeschool Organization of Parent Educators https://masshope.org/ -Mass HOPE’s -annual conventions. From 2010-2019, it was held in Worcester at the DCU Center. Due to the unconstitutional Covid lockdown, there was a two-year hiatus, but in 2022, the annual convention reconvened and relocated to Sturbridge Host Hotel in Sturbridge, MA-a more user-friendly venue. This year’s convention was held last weekend Friday April 19 to Saturday April 20.
Our information table was manned by Rev. Steve Craft, Mrs. Edith Craft and me. We had an excellent time introducing Camp Constitution to dozens of people, making many new friends, and seeing old friends who enjoy what we have to bring to the convention. Our well-stocked table offering books, DVDs, bumper stickers, information about our Sam Blumenfeld Archives, and Camp Constitution’s promotional brochures is interactive. We offer a ten-question quiz on the U.S. Constitution, review the answers, and hand them pocket copies of the Constituon. We also have a quill pen and encourage youngers to sign their name in cursive. Edith, our unofficial goodwill ambassador, made some friends with the folks manning the Northeastern Baptist Bible College and taught them the 1st Amendment song:
Over the years, numerous attendees of this convention have attended Camp Constitution’s annual family camp. A special thanks to Mrs. Pamela Fitzgerald who stopped by the convention on Saturday to serve us lunch, and Mr. Adrian Villa who covered our lodging expenses.
