Summer is just around the corner, and that means that Magnified Giving’s Camp Give 2022 is too.
Camp Give is a fun and meaningful summer day-camp where youth in grades 5-9 engage in service and learn how they can give of their time, talent, and treasure to meet needs in their community.
At Camp Give, participants will take two field trips to local nonprofits to learn about the impact of philanthropy on their community. They’ll also participate in energetic service activities, like packing bags of food for youth in need, to experience giving first-hand! At the end of the week, campers will work together to choose one of the local nonprofits that they served to receive a grant that will help the organization continue making an impact in the community. Campers will also enjoy a number of special activities, like painting a meaningful art mural at Magnified Giving and a fun round of Putt-Putt golf.
Camp Give 2021 was a smashing success, with students engaging in STEM-focused service activities.
Magnified Giving partnered with Square1, a local nonprofit, whose mission is to uncover, educate, support, and inspire emerging entrepreneurs and leaders, to provide participants with a fun, engaging, impactful camp experience.
Magnified Giving recognizes how impactful philanthropic experiences are for students and strives to support and encourage the next generation to be a part of creating a brighter future for themselves, their communities, and the world. The benefits of giving on students’ emotional, academic, and social well-being are extensive.
Programs such as Camp Give provide students with the opportunity to work closely with one another and nonprofit executives. They are able to practice communicating their ideas, working together in teams, and learning how to understand and respect each other. Students who participate in giving are also more engaged in the classroom, more confident in their abilities to make an impact, and more likely to continue giving and volunteering for decades to come. (The Benefits of Giving)
Camp Give is a program that provides young people with a way to learn about philanthropy and also participate in a fun, interactive summer camp experience.
Executive Director of Magnified Giving, Kelly Collison, says, “At Camp Give, we empower kids to be their best, meet other young philanthropists and serve others, we are privileged to do so.”
Camp Give runs 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday.
The cost is $300 per week of camp. Campers select a nonprofit among those they served to receive $50 of their camp fee. Camper scholarships are available, contact Alison Kaufman, Director of Programs at Magnified Giving, at alison@magnifiedgiving.org for more information.
