  1. I'm doing a summer camp at the college for middle/high schoolers. Planning to fabricate some mini trebuchet kits they can assemble (to launch ping pong balls) and then make a "big" one we can wheel outside afterwards for fun. Working on little prototypes currently.

    Does anyone have any good resources on trebuchet specs?

  4. Anti-Zionist groups in Canada last week launched a campaign against Jewish children’s summer camps, marking a new front in activists’ global effort to dismantle the Jewish state and demonize its supporters.

    A coalition of Canadian leftist and pro-Palestinian organizations announced the campaign seeking to strip accreditation from Jewish children’s summer camps due to their support for “a genocidal state.”

    The campaign targeted at least 17 camps across Canada, in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia.

    Have I ever been to summer camp, either for daytime activities or sleepaway?

    I started at daycamp (for music & arts). At 12, 8 wks of sleepaway camp college. From 13 on, it was Camp Algonquin, where I learned to fence.

    At 16, I was asst to the soccer coach. At 17 & 18, I was in charge of scheduling horseback riding.

    See Camp Algonquin (for real)--a horror movie was shot there. I climbed *those* trees. youtube.com/watch?v=OZSwckT_gvs

  6. #CampMystic is a private Christian #summercamp for girls. Established in 1926, Mystic is nestled among cypress, live oak, and pecan trees in the hill country of west-central Texas on the banks of the beautiful #GuadalupeRiver.” - campmystic.com

    One of the first things my father taught me when we started camping in the 1960’s - never set your camp near a river. Go to the high ground. You never know what the weather conditions are like up river. A sandy dry riverbed can become a raging torrent.

  9. How Government #FusionCenters Violate Americans’ Rights — and How to Stop It

    The Biden administration and Congress must impose oversight and accountability on the state-run centers.

    by Mike German
    December 15, 2022

    "A federal jury awarded $300,000 this month to a #MaineStatePolice trooper who was demoted after blowing the whistle on privacy violations at the state’s intelligence #FusionCenter. The federal government spurred the development of fusion centers after 9/11 as a means for sharing counterterrorism intelligence among state and local governments, as well as select private entities. The facts revealed during this trial adds to a mountain of evidence that fusion centers require greater regulation and oversight.

    "The trooper alleged that the Maine Intelligence and Analysis Center, 1 in a network of 80 fusion centers operating across the country, was illegally collecting and sharing information about Maine residents who weren’t suspected of criminal activity. They included gun purchasers, people #protesting the construction of a new power transmission line, the employees of a #peacebuilding #SummerCamp for teenagers, and even people who travelled to New York City frequently. The whistleblower also claimed that fusion center supervisors pressured him to illegally share sensitive FBI information he had access to because of his position on the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

    [...]

    "Shortly after the Maine trooper filed his lawsuit in May 2020, a hack of a fusion center contractor exposed 296 gigabytes of intelligence records from more than 200 law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and DHS. The records substantiated the trooper’s complaints about privacy and #CivilRights violations at the #Maine fusion center and showed similar abuse occurring throughout the network, particularly in tracking #BlackLivesMatter #protests. The documents also showed that fusion centers had regularly spread misinformation sourced from dubious social media posts, including false reports alleging that #antifascists were starting wildfires or planning acts of violence. These specious reports distracted law enforcement during public safety emergencies."

  11. 7 days of camping at BSA Summer Camp in eastern Wisconsin is done. I again lead the troop for the week. 17 people (including adults) is a lot to manage but it was good. We camped early this year and the weather was good. I wish I could rest but my wife and daughter are headed to Girl Scout Adventure Camp in SW Michigan tomorrow! All camping all the time for us. #scouting #girlscouts #scoutsbsa #summercamp
