Registration Open for Hillsdale College’s 2017 Shooting Camps and Seminars: Ladies for Liberty and Couples for Liberty
Hillsdale, MI – Hillsdale College announces its 2017 schedule for its Ladies for Liberty and Couples for Liberty shooting camps and seminars. Ladies for Liberty will be held July 30-Aug. 3. Couples for Liberty will be held June 25-30 and Sept. 10-15.
Participants of all experience levels learn shooting sports techniques and gun safety, and listen to lectures by Hillsdale College faculty members on topics related to the Constitution, including the Second Amendment.
Both camps take place at Hillsdale College’s John A. Halter Shooting Sports Education Center, a 105-acre, state-of–the-art training facility just five miles from the College’s main campus in Hillsdale, Mich.
“Over the years, this camp has given participants of all experience levels a better understanding and appreciation of firearms, firearm safety, and our Second Amendment rights as citizens,” said Kim Gehrke, organizer for Hillsdale College’s shooting sports camps. “This is a unique and fun opportunity to come together with like-minded people, and with some of the best firearms experts in the business. After the week is over, you will feel more confident and secure about handling firearms than you ever have.”
Ladies for Liberty has an enrollment fee of $1,200 per person and Couples for Liberty has an enrollment fee of $2,785 per couple. Fees cover lodging, meals, lectures, and receptions at the Dow Conference Center on the Hillsdale College campus and the Halter Shooting Sports Education Center.
