Greetings,
You are invited to attend the History Boot Camp on July 30-31 in Lapeer, Michigan. Blue hats, orange hats, red hats and green hats are welcome. This will be a two day event for EVERYONE to improve their history storytelling. There will also be plenty of camaraderie and a little pistol shooting.
A history boot camp is two days of learning history. There will be a little classroom work, some breakout sessions and a whole lot of fun. We will be starting at 8:30 am on both Saturday and Sunday. BTW, the classroom is AIR CONDITIONED!
Everyone is welcome to camp out at the club with us starting Friday at 6:00 pm, no charge. If you need electricity there is a $5 donation per night. There are flushing toilets and showers available. Those without tents or campers can sleep inside the clubhouse. There will be a $5 charge per attendee.
Be sure to bring a comfortable chair, usual travel items for a weekend, notebook, a copy of Paul Revere's Ride and of course a teachable attitude.
As of today, we are looking for someone to organize the meals. Any volunteers? Typically, we charge $25 for those who want to join in on meals. They would include Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch. Feel free to bring your own food if you wish. Be forewarned that lunch will be either very short or a working lunch.
Saturday after dinner will be free time, everyone is welcome to be our guest on the pistol range. Caliper has something up his sleeve that will surely put a smile on all the pistol shooters faces. Be sure to bring your favorite handgun or two, 200 rounds and a range holster (Belt strong side that will cover the trigger guard and maintain its shape without the pistol inside, allowing for one handed reholstering).
Preparation is recommended but not mandatory. A good place to start is obviously reading PRR. Over achievers can study the TIPS site history section. Just like attending a regular Appleseed event the main issue is just show up and be ready to learn.
We need to know who is coming so register for free here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/lapeer-mi-history-boot-camp-july-30-31-2016-tickets-22814739500
Also, Check in on the planning thread: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=47955.0
Any questions feel free to send a P.M. to Superheat

Can this be video recorded to be shared with the rest of us who can't make it. I really need more history!
The Red hat strikes may be available, stay tuned.
Just like an IBC the HBC is designed to be hands on. Our plan is to have HBC on a regular basis. I know attending the first one six years ago really jump started my story telling.
I would love to help out but I have a shoot that weekend. Get. Me in the loop on your next one, I will gladly help with the instructions.
