Military Leadership Academy recruiting high school students (Dulles, VA) – Most high school students consider a number of career options following graduation. Very few, however, get the chance to actually experience one of those options before making such an important decision. The Military Leadership Academy, hosted by Freedom Alliance, provides high school students an opportunity to experience the military lifestyle while learning valuable leadership knowledge. “The military is a viable and fulfilling career choice for many young Americans,” explained Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon. “Students who are interested in an interactive opportunity to evaluate life in the Armed Forces should think about spending two weeks at the Military Leadership Academy.” Cadets will participate in a program based on the curriculum of the U.S. Army. Physical training, tours of military bases, leadership simulations, land navigation, field tactics, urban warfare training, and a visit to Washington, DC are a few of the many activities included at the Academy. The first class will take place from July 4th – 17th; the second class will be from July 25th – August 7th. Both will be held at Fort Pickett, a National Guard Post in Blackstone, Virginia. The Academy seeks motivated high school students who wish to challenge themselves to become stronger and more confident leaders. Students leave the program with a better appreciation for the military, leadership tools to be successful in life, and understand the value of serving something greater than oneself. For more information and/or to apply please visit http://www.mlacamp.com, email info@mlacamp.com or call 1-800-475-6620. Applications must be received by June 1, 2010.

The new "green" cabin is equipped with a solar powered compact fluorescent light and ceiling fan. Both the fan and light are powered from a battery that is charged with a single, photo-voltaic panel mounted on the roof of the cabin. The cabin has a beautiful setting, overlooking Caroga Lake, and is equipped with bunk beds, a dining table, a propane wall heater, and cleaning supplies. It also comes with a fire ring, picnic table, grill and Adirondack chairs for outdoor enjoyment. Up to eight people can be accommodated. Cost is $50 per night, Monday thru Thursday, or $60 per night, Friday thru Sunday. "This is the third cabin at Brighton; however, what makes this cabin unique is that it is powered by natural energy," said Mike Donnelly, Department of Natural Resources and Energy park supervisor. "This project is one example of how we are trying to 'green' our parks and, with all the amenities this cabin has to offer to all visitors, GO-Get Outdoors and make a reservation today." Brighton State Recreation Area is located at 6360 Chilson Rd., approximately six miles west of I-96, off Exit 147.

This money will also help support Michigan state parks, boating access sites, state forests and local parks.
