Starting in January of 2015, Pacific Crest instituted a community
outreach program in partnership with Hampton United Methodist
Church. Pacific Crest donated its services and supplies in order to
share the benefits of Process Education and Learning to Learn with
parents, teachers, and ultimately the students of the New Hampshire
Seacost. Hampton is where Dan Apple and his family live and this was
his way of giving back to his community.

1. |
Help train parents and/or educators so that they are able to
significantly improve the education and sense of empowerment
of the children of the Seacoast. |
2. |
Assist at least 75 children (ranging from incoming 9th
graders to incoming college students) in becoming ready to
succeed in college. |
3. |
Develop a program of ongoing support for community
based-education in order to increase the college success of
families on the Seacoast. |
To achieve these goals, Dan offered a series of workshops:
This preparation work culminated in a 1-week Learning to Learn Camp
August 3-7, staffed by parents of participating students with Dan as
lead facilitator. Though there was no charge for the camp, parents
were asked to donate what they could afford, with all donations
going to HUMC.
The feedback we received was SO
POSITIVE that Dan has agreed to donate his time and
energy again in 2016 to offer the same series of events with the
same goals in mind.

Camp, we invite you to visit:
