Charlie Insignares is a Stone Soup camper who is challenged by Tourettes Syndrome. He was honored as "Student of the Year" at his high school graduation in May, 2009. Dinosaurs have been Charlie's passionate interest for several years and a team of educators consider paleontology as an excellent life-long vocation for him. Summer Project is the first step for him to be professionally associated with the field of paleontology.
Matt McLain, a geology student (paleontology concentration) at Cedarville University in Ohio, will serve as Charlie's monitor for a month long excavation in eastern Wyoming in June, 2010, as a part of the prominent Earth History Research Center's dinosaur bone extraction at the large Hanson Station there.
A team of 16 adult volunteers (including 5 Ph.D. level educators) are helping prepare Charlie academically and socially for college. Funding for the video story will enable presentations to garner additional financial support for Charlie's educational program. Further, the top goal will enable Charlie to attend college prep courses, make campus visits, receive special training to address challenges with the Tourettes syndrome, and tell the story of Charlie and Matt's Summer Project.
