(From the Governor's Office---New date (July 22) for Under Illinois Skies Free Camping Trip for Youth

GOVERNOR Encourages Youth Groups to Attend Free Camping Adventure

“Under Illinois Skies” Includes Outdoor Activities at

Kankakee River State Park on July 22

CHICAGO – Governor Quinn and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) invites Chicago area youth groups to register for a free summer camping adventure - “Under Illinois Skies” - at Kankakee River State Park on July 22nd. The event, which was originally scheduled in June, is part of Governor Quinn’s agenda to ensure that no child is left inside and is designed to expand outdoor recreation across Illinois.

“We want to make sure the children in Illinois have every opportunity to get outside and get moving,” Governor Quinn said. “’Under Illinois Skies’ is a great adventure that will introduce campers to nature while enjoying outdoor fun in one of our great state parks.”

The IDNR has partnered with the Chicago Retail Merchants Association to sponsor a full day of outdoor activities and overnight camping on Monday, July 22 at Kankakee River State Park near Bourbonnais.

“Under Illinois Skies” is a pilot project through the IDNR that provides urban youth with opportunities to experience outdoors activities including fishing, hiking, and camping at an Illinois state park. The camping trip is among a number of events throughout the summer that are part of Governor Quinn’s “Leave No Child Inside” initiative to provide more outdoor recreation opportunities for Illinois’ youth, especially children in urban areas of the state.

Youth group leaders interested in registering for the free July 22 “Under Illinois Skies” activities at Kankakee River State Park should contact IDNR Community Outreach Director Jeffrey Jones at (312) 814-8579 or through email at Jeffrey.R.Jones@Illinois.gov by Wednesday, July 17. Space for this event is limited.

Chicago: Slots Available 4 HS STEM Program

Hello and Well Wishes,

I am putting on my education activist hat, rolling up my sleeves and doing what I can to connect underserved young people to a summer enrichment opportunity. Kennedy-King College in partnership with the University of Chicago is offering a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program taking place at both campuses.

This is where I need your assistance. I am working to fill seats in the program. There are 33 slots available, and I have a vision of every seat being filled.

Attached is the flyer describing the key aspects of the program. If you know any high school students who have an interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) careers and have completed their junior year please have them contact me at dmh@therightsourceinc.com or have them complete the online application embedded in the flyer.

There is a time crunch since the program begins on Monday, July 1st. I know it is the last minute, but like I said I'm on a mission.

I appreciate all you are willing to do to make this a successful program model. Kennedy-King is one of 14 recipients of the national grant from the Department of Education, and the only community college funded.

I can also be reached on my mobile phone -312-933-7665.

Best regards,

Deborah
