Penn State University Galaxy Far Far Away Camp-Dubois Campus

On June 30th, 2011 Garrison Carida's Academy Commandant and Membership Liason Officer Wally Peters was joined by members of Garrison Carida and the Rebel Legion to assist one of our cadets in providing some fun and enetertainment to some eager kids who were attendning the Galaxy Far Far Away camp at the Dubois Campus of Penn State University.

Garrison Carida's cadet Mahim, a memeber of the Rebel Legion, Conducts the camp, which is held annually, to allow kids an opportunity to spend a week in a galaxy far far away. Our members were on hand to teach the students about how we build our costumes and the cultural and historical significance of the costumes and the lore behind the Star Wars saga. Of course the kids got to play with our life size action figures and get pictures with the various characters as well.

This camp is not only a great opportunity for the students who attend it to meet their favorite characters, but it is also a great opportunity for our members to inspire the next generation of Star Wars fans and hopefully encourage them to follow their dreams, and even join our ranks in the years to come. Garrison Carida would like nothing better than to see these kids join us when they are old enough. Who knows maybe in a few years some of these students will Troop this event and inspire the NEXT generation beyond theirs.
