Early Start for Governor’s Liberty Scholarships,
University at Albany Launches Camp Liberty

"A bold experiment to enthrall young minds with the wonder of scholarship" is
now underway at the University at Albany. The first session of Camp Liberty, a

16-day residential summer experience for eight to ten year olds from low income

families, began on July 7.

The University’s Professional Development Program administers the

/ program for the New York State Department of Social Services, hosting 175 black,
white and Latino children from the New York Metropolitan area, Albany, and
Renssalear county. Camp dates are July 7-22 and July 26 through August 12.

The program provides elementary school children with a learning experience

designed to bridge the gap between school sessions, The theory is that this summer
experience, in a college setting, will foster a belief and confidence among the

participants that college is an attainable goal.

| "In Camp Liberty we have a bold experiment to enthrall young minds with
the wonder of scholarship," said Cesar A. Perales, Social Services Commissioner.
"Right now these kids are behind their peers at school, but we hope that just 16
days at this University setting will motivate them to reapply themselves and move

toward education at higher levels."
Supervised campers are housed in the University’s low-rise dormitories of
the Dutch Quadrangle. The intent is to show participants that while learning is a
lifelong process and a tool for success, it can be fun and rewarding too. "This
summer component is imperative to the success of a year-round initiative the
primary goal of which is to encourage these children to stay in school long enough
to graduate and hopefully continue on to college," said Gene Monaco, Deputy
Director of the Professional Development Program.

Along with activities aimed at improving the childrens’ reading, writing,
and oral communication, Camp Liberty provides a variety of programs to enhance
social and interpersonal growth. The campers get hands-on experience in computer
skills, language arts, math and sciences as well as drama, dance, music and
swimming. There also are field trips to places such as the Five Rivers
Environmental Education Center, the Schenectady Museum and Planetarium, Howe

: Caverns and the Waterford Flight Tour. There the children see locks in operation
and have a boat ride on the Erie Canal.

The ultimate goal of Camp Liberty is, ideally, for a student to be eligible to
apply for the Liberty Scholarship Program after four years of participation in this
program.
