Hey there, friends! Summer’s just around the corner!  Picture this: you're sitting by the campfire, roasting marshmallows and swapping stories with your new friends. The stars are twinkling overhead, and the only sounds you can hear are the gentle rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl. This is the magic of summer camp, and with GiveSendGo, your kids can experience it for themselves. So, it's time to pack their bags and send them off to camp! Whether they’re a seasoned camper or a first-timer, there's nothing quite like spending your days in the great outdoors, making new friends, and creating unforgettable memories. (You may have your own memories of going to summer camp as a child and want them to have those same experiences too!)  Whether you're looking to send them to a traditional sleepaway camp, church camp, sports camp, or art camp, there's no shortage of options out there. But we all know that attending summer camp can be expensive, which is why so many turn to GiveSendGo to help raise the funds needed to make that summer camp dream and reality.  So, what are you waiting for? It's time to start your fundraising journey today on GiveSendGo! Set up your campaign and set a goal amount. Maybe have your child tell you the top three things they can’t wait to experience at summer camp and include those reasons in your 300-500 word campaign description!  Once you’ve published your campaign, share it with your friends, family, and church members! It’s the people closest to you and your family who are most likely to give to your campaign.And with any funds left over you can help pay for one of their friends to go to summer camp, or turn it into a scholarship for a kid at church who can’t afford to go!  When your child comes home they’ll be bursting with stories about all the fun activities they did, lessons they learned, and friends they made! (They may also come home with a bit of sunburn and exceptionally smelly clothes).  Encourage your child to write thank you notes (whether handwritten or directly from your GiveSendGo campaign page) with their stories in response to each giver. People will love to hear what your child was able to experience while away at summer camp because of their generosity! Hearing how people are blessing others and making a difference by using GiveSendGo certainly makes us happy campers!

Do you want to give or create a GiveSendGo campaign while spending quality time with your family? Look no further! Here are some fun ideas for getting your family involved in GiveSendGo! 

Give as a Family
Consider giving as a family to a cause that you all care about. This can be a great way to teach your children about the importance of giving back and the impact that their donations can make. Plus, it can be a fun family activity to choose a cause together and decide how much to donate.

Fundraise for a Family Need
Do you have a family member, friend, or someone in your community who needs financial assistance? Consider creating a GiveSendGo campaign to raise funds. Encourage your family members to get involved in the fundraising efforts by sharing the campaign, coming up with creative ideas, and giving. This can be a powerful way to support one another during tough times.

Get Creative
Involve your family in the creative process of your GiveSendGo campaign. Brainstorm together and come up with fun ideas for promoting the campaign. For example, you could create a family video to add to your campaign gallery and share on social media, host a family talent show to promote your campaign, or create artwork to send to givers when they donate specific amounts.

Share and Promote the Campaign
Encourage your family members to share and promote your GiveSendGo campaign on their social media accounts or through text and direct messages with their friends. They can also spread the word to their friends and colleagues by word of mouth. This can help you reach a wider audience and attract more donations.

Make it a Game
Create a family game out of your GiveSendGo campaign. For example, you could set a fundraising goal and track your progress on a leaderboard. You can also offer incentives for family members who donate the most, such as cooking their favorite meal or doing their chores for them.

In conclusion, getting your family involved in giving or promoting your GiveSendGo campaign can be a fun and rewarding experience. By giving as a family, fundraising for a family need, getting creative, sharing and promoting the campaign, and making it a game, you can make a real difference in the world while spending quality time with your loved ones. So, gather your family and start fundraising on GiveSendGo!
