TAR Camp is almost here.... Are you signed up?
If you are (or have) a teenager who appreciates the finer points of politics, and wants a few days of rest, relaxation and political chatter in the Black Hills of South Dakota - the Teenage Republicans want you!
They want you to send your kid to TAR camp out in the Hills July 22-27th. I believe it's $200 and there are a ton of fun activities for them (Hikes, tubing, waterslides, etc) in addition to hearing from most of our state's leaders including John Thune, the Governor, constitutional officers, etcetera, as have all been out there speaking in past years.
For more information (including the bus schedule of the bus going from Eastern SD to camp) contact PUC Commissioner Dusty Johnson.
I'm proud to be sending my #2 daughter out there this year - my first TAR camper!! So send someone who she can pal around with for my sake.
UPDATE - oops. G0 to http://www.sdtars.com for more information

(Not all kids are devoted to nintendo and xbox. Some actually care about the world around them)
Sign up it is a great time!!!!!
GO TARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think TARS is a wonderful organization and I totally recommend it to all kids & parents. One week in the Hills for $250. I betcha the county org. have scholarships available. e-mail Dusty.
Dan Sutton is providing security.
there are not enough dems to come close to putting together a camp like this. they tried, it did not work.
this camp is young adults with like ideals spending a week in the beautiful black hills, and being able to learn about the political process.
judging from the caliber of my high school government teacher,(or should I say my basketball coach) somebody needs to teach students something about the government/ election process. but my theory about hiring teachers before coaches is for another day.
Learning about the political process? Hardly.
Did you go to TAR Camp? I am curious how you would have any idea. I went, and similar to the earlier post, learned more from the counselor, speakers and fellow campers about government and politics than any classroom I was in during high school. Please stick to posting on something you know a little bit about.

The list of TARs who have gone on to be great citizens just continues to grow. I don't know if TARs attracts or produces oustanding people, but it doesn't seem to hurt.
Wow, that's pretty harsh. Did you ever stop to think there's more to a person than their words on a silly internet site read by a few hundred people?
It's more likely that someone so carelessly willing to make this kind of serious judgment about another person is the one more likely to be miserable and despicable...
