Participants will investigate how money is earned,
spent, and saved. To add an aspect of reality to the
camp, the students will earn, spend and save the
camp’s own currency called "Eco-Bucks.” Campers
will be on the move, visiting the Grand Theatre, the
State Capital, City Hall, and Memorial Stadium.
Business people from the community visit the camp
to give first hand viewpoints of everyday economics.
The economic issues at the local, state
and national levels are the topics for this
day. Students will discuss taxes and the
decisions made by our elected officials
as they use a public service (the city bus)
to visit with local and state officials. They will also
go on an economics scavenger hunt as we tour the
state Capitol and we will learn what “flag-onomics” is
all about!
