Camp ChangeMaker educates youth about serious issues in our community and what local nonprofits are doing to find solutions. We will visit local organizations and non-profits to gain an understanding of the purpose of their organization; how it operates, who they serve and why they do so. We will also help with a hands-on project so each camper will walk away with the knowledge on how they can share their time and talents within our community. Camp costs includes a t-shirt.
