Vacation Liberty School Teaches Kids About America’s Faith, Politics & Founding Values

What happens when vacation Bible school, a U.S. history course and a Tea Party rally collide? The result is Vacation Liberty School, a volunteer-run, summer program for kids between the ages of 10 and 15.

The five-day, educational experience offers talks, skits and a variety of activities that focus on American history and the nation’s founding. Held in local churches across the nation, the schools run for about three hours per day and are mostly free (aside from some nominal fees).

According to Courier-Journal.com, kids learn lessons that include: “understanding false extensions of separation of church and state,” “faith’s role in the Revolutionary War” and “avoiding the enslavement of debt,” among others. Below, watch more information about this intriguing educational experience, centered around one such school in Danville, KY:

In discussing the intersection of faith, history and contemporary political discourse, these hybrid camp-school experiences are unique. They are run by members associated with the Glenn Beck-inspired 9/12 Project, which embraces nine principles and 12 inherent values. Like Vacation Liberty School, these values and principles involve both faith-based and political proclamations. The Courier-Journal.com explains the history of these intriguing camps:

The first Liberty school was held in Georgetown, Ky., in 2010 by 9/12 members including Lisa Abler, who fashioned a curriculum and made it available for free online on the Vacation Liberty School website.

Since then, the summer schools have been held in Owensboro, Versailles and Danville. An estimated 1,000 children have attended 40 similar schools across the country this year in states including Florida and Michigan, most using a curriculum developed in Kentucky, according to Eric Wilson, head of the Kentucky 9/12 project.

Of course, these schools have found their critics. Joseph Conn, a spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State, says that Vacation Liberty Schools are troubling. Aside from being biased toward certain religious and political views, he sees them as trying to re-write American history.

Supporters, though, claim that the materials taught are based on fact and original documentation (including the coveted words of America’s founding fathers). Back in 2010, Lisa Abler created the curriculum for the first ever Liberty School. The materials she drafted have been provided for free on the Vacation Liberty School web site.

Last year, Beck featured the schools on his television show and said that they give him “great hope.” Back in June, The Blaze brought you information about a Vacation Liberty School in Tampa, Florida, as well. In the end, these day camps provide families with an intriguing summer activity to consider for their children.

    HEFFE44, Jesus was not, and is not a liberal. Nor was/is he a conservative. Don’t put God in a box man. An objective look at history will show you however, that Biblical Christianity, and Jewish genius are largely responsible for our methods of scientific inquiry, mathmatic theory, and western economics, not to mention charity.

      Perhaps you should read this from Rev. M. I. Motte that was alive during those days. While not being a founding father per se, he was an important figure back then.
      “patriotism, that most abused words. Alas! That it is every vaunted and bravadoed by the scoffer and the profligate, not knowing, that blessed is that people, and that alone, whose God is the Lord. Without him they may speak great swelling words of vanity; but bombastic professions and oratorical displays are not the disinterested self-denial and sober toils of a virtuous citizen, who fears God and honors government, and serves and saves the state without boasting. He alone is a patriot. By such alone the country stands.” And before you make a stupid statement about him being a minister just remember that almost every founding father was a minister.

      Heffe44 While I respect your viewpoint, I believe that Jesus would have had nothing to do with social justice. In fact, he would have found the concept to be very degrading. Jesus was all about equal justice in that he expected every person to use their God-given abilities to become self-sufficient and contributing members of society. A good example is what Jesus said to the paralyzed man who sat by the pool for 38 years never figuring out for himself how to get himself to the pool when the water was moving so that he could be healed. Jesus asked him if he really wanted to be healed. In other words, was the man just making excuses so that he could continue to beg for money and not have to work to support himself. Right after Jesus healed the man he told him to go directly to the temple and pay what is owed of him for the healing according to Jewish tradition. It is interesting too that he told the man to carry his own mat with him. Another reference to self-sufficiency. Jesus was not a liberal or conservative. He was God.

      You couldn’t be more wrong. Conservatives are at the forefront of math and science, and are curious observers of life around us. They have more curious minds and are not prone to jump at any pied piper that comes along. Liberals/leftists are more prone to make judgements based on emotion, hysteria, predisposition, preconceived notions and junk science. When, for example, we find that where ice has receded, we find tree stumps and other signs of pre-ice life, the conservative mind takes note and enters it into the equation, the liberal mind ignores this because it conflicts with their preconceived notions. If there‘s one thing the liberal mind can’t tolerate it’s conflict. The liberal mind is not equipped for juxtaposition, it gives them a headache.

      I’ve been studying U.S. History for over 50 years, long before the Tea Party came along. Actually, I have yet to attend a Tea Party event.

      We found out how poorly the left knows U.S. history in the recent Paul Revere/Sarah Palin debate. The left had no friggen idea that the happenstance of April 18, 1775 was about gun control/confiscation, which the British had been systematically carrying out since September of 1774. And they had no idea of the truth when Michelle Bachmann said that the American Revolution actually started in NH. Which of course it technically did a month before the battle’s of Lexington Green and Concord Bridge, with the colonists militarily taking over Ft William and Mary, near Portsmouth, NH., and confiscating all the munitions there, capturing the garrison and hauling down the Union Jack. Paul Revere also rode the 70 miles to warn the citizens there too. This was a continuation of the British attempt to disarm the colonists.

      I‘ve been political blogging on the WEB for over 12 years and if there’s one thing I can state with certainty is that the left knows nothing of U.S. History, the Founding of this nation and the meaning of the Constitution. The left-wing public school system that we now have, very poorly serves this nation. I know, I know, it’s no accident.

      While the Founders juxtaposed several sources in determining their philosophy which they imparted on the U.S. Constitution, such as John Locke, Adam Smith, Blackstone’s Commentaries, etc., the Holy Bible was the greatest influence. When scholarship was done on everything the Founders wrote and talked about in their lifetimes, fully 34% came from the Holy Bible, far more than any other single thing.

      That’s exactly right, many of the Founders held high office in the new Nation for 20 to 30 years after the founding, so many of the things like so-called ‘separaration of church and state’, which the left claims in the Constitution today would have been so from the start if that’s what the Founders intended. But instead history is repleat with their admonitions of the importance of religion in the safety and well-being of the nation. Also, at about the same time they ratified the Constitution, they passed the Northwest Ordinance which said that religion was to be taught in the schools.

    Now more than ever, we need the courage and moral fortitude set forth by our Founding Fathers to return to our Constitution and what works! They bled suffered and died to give us our freedoms from tyranny. What have our current, “elitists” leaders today have done besides lie and bankrupt our country? Our ‘real’ history needs to be taught. Not the “revised, unpatriotic” history currently being taught to our children. We need to be proud of our country to save it! … “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” George Santanya

    If there wasn’t so much biased history taught in the public schools, these camps wouldn’t be needed. They need to get the true history from somewhere. I am glad there are people out there with a desire to teach our youth truth instead of political correctness. Way to go!

      This is from the Washington Times — a VERY conservative newspaper.

      It’s time for Americans to stop living in fear derived from misinformation spread by those who want to gin up hysteria for their own gain. Maybe read a little bit about Father Coughlin? Or the series of essays “The International Jew” by Henry Ford. Or even some texts by Jule Streicher. Same strategy — use inflammatory memes, evocative images, and misinformation — instead of facts and reason — to persuade people to think the way the propagandist wants them to think.

      The most important point is that this is an entirely false premise. Obama did NOT sign an executive order for the DREAM ACT. Here is a link to FactCheck — probably the most accessible source or at least the easiest to understand — but you can find this information from many sources. You could even call the office of your senator or congressperson. These are probably more reliable sources than some viral email or link to a post that is entirely unsubstantiated.

    As for some a__ clown having a problem with this, it’s a VOLUNTARY CAMP. No one is forcing anyone to send their kids there. However, if this camp included trips to Cuba to speak with members of the Communist revolución, it probably would be all hunky dory.

    Heaven forbid should our children be taught REAL AMERICAN HISTORY and “old-fashioned” American values such as fiscal and personal responsibility and hard work instead of that revisionist drivel the schools are spewing these days.

      We are not attacking the camp, as much as we are pointing og the Hypocrisy of Beck in comparing a camp, that was a victim of a Right Wing Christian killer, to the hitler youth because they had a politcal slant and only a week or two later to have a positive article of a camp with the same mission. The only difference between the camps in the politcal bias they teach.

      So either Beck meant all camps with a political spin are Hitler Youth camps, or only camps that Beck does not agree with. If the latter, Beck is a hypocrite and his statements are nothing more than self serving bias opinions.

      “Only a DEMOCRAT would attack this camp, or a Muslim. Or a Nutjob. A TEA Party conservative would want the truth to be told regarding American history, regardless of it’s shining light on it being right or wrong.”

      Take a deep breath and relax. I don’t think that people are attacking the camp itself — most “libruls” by definition believe in free speech and freedom of choice. Parents can choose to send their kids to any summer camp they choose (but maybe should avoid ones run by NAMBLA or Stormfront!), just like parents in Norway can choose to send their kids to a “civics” camp run by a particular party in order to learn about the workings of government. How these VLS camps — which advertise that they are guided by the principles espoused by Glenn Beck — are different from the summer camp in Norway or from countless other camps and programs sponsored by political and social organizations here in the states is beyond me.

      What people are reacting to is the fact — and it is a fact — that Beck characterized the camp in Norway as similar to the “Hitler Youth” and that statement is hypocritical given that he sponsors very, very similar camps for even younger kids here in the US.

      And, as an aside, the “Hitler Youth” remark was offensive on so many levels. Ironic coming from one who claims to “Stand with the Jews.”
