Congratulations – You’re going to Camp Challenge!
Fifteen students from Lexington and South Davidson Middle schools will attend Camp Challenge in Stokes County from July 7 to 12.
Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County is pleased to announce that all fifteen of the Lexington and South Davidson middle school students who applied for coveted spots at Camp Challenge this summer have been accepted!
They’ll spend the week of July 7 – 12 at the camp, which is located at the Sertoma 4-H Educational Center in Stokes County near Hanging Rock State Park.
Kids attending Camp Challenge learn age-appropriate personal finance skills, including recognizing the difference between wants and needs, how to operate checking and savings accounts and find alternatives to spending. While at Camp, students explore public speaking, entrepreneurship, personal development, citizenship responsibilities, conflict resolution and business concepts. Campers also enjoy traditional summer camp activities such as horseback riding, swimming and hiking.
Many of the kids accepted to attend Camp Challenge will need help gathering necessary supplies. Want to help? Click here to find out what you can donate to help send them off with confidence!
