JUNE 12-17 

CAMPUS  PROJECT

 

JULY 10-15

YOUTH FOR AMERICA

 

THE FINISHED DOME

AUGUST 30 – SEPTEMBER 2

VOLUNTEERS BUILDING MC ORCHARD

JUNE 12-17

CAMPUS PROJECT

Last April a team of volunteers converged on the Monticello College campus

and in just 36 hours transformed a bare piece of land into an orchard with 65

fruit trees.

 

Thank you so much, we are forever in your debt.

This year we have consulted with Cal-Earth to begin building student housing. Cal-Earth did a wonderful job of training a number of MC faculty in the process of  building “Super Adobe” domes for student housing.

CAL-EARTH ECO DOME

During the week of June 12-17, we are inviting volunteers to join us for a week of hard labor and love as we begin construction on our first MC student domes.

If you are interested in joining us for all or part of this adventure, please

contact me directly at 435 590 1661 or email at sb@monticellocollege.org.

Here’s how it will work, it’s really simple:

  1. bring a tent and camp on site.

2. Work really hard from sun up to sun down.

3. We will feed you and you will have access to restrooms and showers.

When you are done, you will of course have helped us build our campus, and for that you have our eternal gratitude. But that is not all you will take home. When human beings put this kind of effort into helping others, it changes them. It will make you a better person, and if you bring the whole family, it will strengthen your family unit in ways that are almost indescribable.

Classes, colloquia, hiking, lake trips, bonfires, and wilderness experiences that will stimulate discussions and help you remember why this is the greatest nation on earth.

Perhaps most importantly, you will meet some of the best youth in the nation—youth like you who care about the important things, and you will make new friends that will change your life forever.

AUGUST 30 – SEPTEMBER 2

SECOND ANNUAL STATESMAN ECONOMIC SUMMIT

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire

“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero

For some, this summit will be the beginning of an education they have longed for.

For others, it will be the next step in their intellectual development.

Still for others, it will be a launching pad into social/political change and impact.

Regardless your reason for attending, this summit will be a major turning point in knowledge acquisition and intellectual insight, in building deep meaningful relationships, and bonding with nature and nature’s God.

Everyone is familiar with the phrase “those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.”

We believe this so strongly that we have taken our theme from Gibbon’s The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and will address the essence of this tome comparing and contrasting it with American history and our potential future.

Holding such a summit in the wilderness of the Blue Mountains, in the company of some of the greatest people in our land, and learning, analyzing, and meditating on the knowledge gained here will be the experience of a lifetime.

Come join us and begin to become part of the American solution.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.  We ask not your counsels or arms.  Crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you.  May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” – Samuel Adams
