Deadline is Friday for Gear Up camp

By COBY LaRUE
Staff

The local Gear Up program is planning a summer camp here in Alleghany for rising eighth graders through eleventh graders, but so far too few youth have registered to allow the program to be held. If participation merits it, the camp will be held June 15 to June 19, from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.

The deadline to sign up for the camp is 10 a.m. on Friday morning (June 12). Applications may be picked up at any local school.

The one-week camp, called "Camp Discovery," focuses on getting kids ready for college and future careers. The entire Gear Up program is aimed at getting more kids prepared for higher education. Gear Up is an acronym for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergradu-ate Programs.
