BTB Paul - The U of M had already received 40-50 applicants by the time you sent this notification. It looks like the some of the parents in affluent neighborhoods with internet access, medical insurance and transportation, won't have to pay for day care for at least part of the summer.
This program was a dismal failure, before it even started.

>We need your help in finding young people to fill 33 camp scholarships. This is a great opportunity. The U of M has agreed to fund 33 scholarships to their summer camps, in order that Minneapolis kids can participate. We have 33 scholarships for Minneapolis kids (I don't think there are even income guidelines, although we'd obviously prefer that they go to economically disadvantaged kids). Any interested family should call the office of Multicultural and Academic Affairs at 612.624.0594 for info and/or to sign up. The camps are for children and young people ages 5-15, and there are spots throughout the summer available.
>Here's a website with more info on the camps...

>Please pass the info along to any interested families or community organizations that serve young people. Call me with any questions. We are really trying to fill the slots ASAP, and the first session starts Wednesday. Thanks.
