Stamp Camp Part II Of II

In continuation from the post on Monday.

Camp leaders are always needed to help run the programs for the children. There are leader workshops that are available nationwide. Your only entrance requirements are that you want to work with children and like stamps.

According to the Stamp Camp USA’s website: “Many community, civic, and educational groups work with Stamp Camp USA to promote stamp collecting as a family activity: 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, YWCA, public libraries, home school networks, Foster Grandparents, Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Experience Works, AmeriCorps VISTA, Centers for Independent Living, HeadStart, nursing homes, Communities That Care, and the federal prison system.”

Stamp Camp USA has now been relocated to Washington, DC. There have been several camps run in various locations around the country. The next camp available is at Mansfield University in Mansfield, PA. Stamp Camp will run from July 21st thru July 25, 2008. Stamp Camp is offered to children between the ages of 8 and 14 years old. The cost will be $100 per child, which includes all materials.

Also, they are taking donations of stamps, philatelic and general office supplies, craft materials, used award trophies, picture frames, and similar materials. For more information about this program, call (814) 326-0810 or email stampcampusa@intergate.com .
