TownOnline.com - Local News: Camp builds with games

TownOnline.com - Local News: Camp builds with games: "Campers earned 3,000 points, participating in various activities last week, which Camp Sewataro then translated into dollars and donated to the Greater Boston Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Among the camp’s programs, which focus on sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation and non-competitiveness, there is also a Helping Hands philanthropy component. Each year, the camp chooses an organization to make a donation to and involves the campers in raising the money.


The twist is that the nearly 600 campers themselves do not collect money from family and friends or have fund-raisers. Instead, they participate in activities at camp which earn them points. "
