Retired Teacher's Gun Culture Program Expands With Grant Money
Retired Allentown, Penn. elementary school teacher John Annoni has received grant money for his nonprofit program, Camp Compass Academy. Despite facing challenges, Annoni continues to expand his initiative that uses gun culture principles to teach responsibility and accountability to young people.
Annoni, who retired last June, founded Camp Compass Academy in 1994 as an afterschool program. Initially, it incorporated gun-training and hunting activities. However, after being asked to discontinue these elements by school officials, Annoni moved his program to a nearby carpet store with an open top floor.
Former students credit Annoni's program with keeping them away from trouble and negative influences. The program focuses on teaching individual responsibility, accountability, and delayed gratification using gun culture principles. Annoni's warmth and genuine smile were notable traits that drew students to him during his teaching years.
John Annoni's Camp Compass Academy continues to make a positive impact on young lives, even after his retirement from teaching. With recent grant money received, Annoni is dedicated to further expanding his program. More information about Camp Compass Academy can be found at campcompass.com.
