A Basket Full of Ideas
Share a programming idea or two with other camps!

By Gary Forster

Every month, I compile an e-newsletter and invite camp directors to submit information to be included in the publication. It’s seen as an honor for their ideas to be used, so I thought I would share some programming tips with the readers of Camp Business. Hope it helps add creativity and fresh ideas to every camp lineup!

T-Shirt Mining
“Several years ago I was cleaning out my closet and pulled out a couple dozen old campT-shirts, most dating back from the 1980s. I sent them to Phantom Lake Camp, and they held a T-shirt auction during camp staff training, with the funds going towards the camp's Strong Kids fund. I believe over $3,000 was raised that first year! A call was made to alumni to donate ’vintage’ T-shirts and other clothing items, and the event consistently raises a couple of thousand dollars every year since.”
