Your child will have the chance to reflect on what they learned throughout the week, discuss what they learned with their peers, and vote to determine which of the nonprofit organizations they learned about will receive a grant. The dollar amount donated to charity depends on the number of participants in that week of Camp Give. A letter stating your tax-deductible contribution will be provided on the last day of camp.
