Day At Camp Captain Fateen Ziyad and the Newark Fire Department will serve as Chairman for the Day at Camp program. We will be running three weeks of program for participating schools. The mailing for reservations will go out in February with reservations being taken on a first come, first serve situation. This year many new schools registered with Learning for Life since the State of New Jersey administered grants to all the schools for character education programs including the Learning for Life program. High Schools are now in the process of planning their career programs and working the Learning for Life lesson plans into their curriculum courses.
Many schools get an early start and have had a speaker each month for a different career topic.
The Career Interest Surveys conducted as a free service to all high schools have been distributed to the high schools in Northern New Jersey counties. The career survey results show what each individual student career interest is and some are invited to join an Exploring Post depending on the career choices and available Exploring Posts in the area they live in. Learning for Life Career Fairs, programs and events are being planned for this coming spring. Teachers and guidance councilors have over five opportunities to attend the Learning for Life Training Workshops. Training participants receive a certificate for credited hours toward the required hours for teacher certification.
