While I could easily plan a fundraiser a week or two down the road, here\u2019s one that teens can do on their own time. Especially during this Coronavirus pandemic. Listed below is a Publisher file of the forms for this project.<br>Supplies needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A supply of Manila Clasp Envelopes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Printer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Due Date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the clasp envelopes, you can attach the following PDF files of donation and Thank You forms.&nbsp;<br>As you can see, the donation form has a grid of donation amounts listed from $1-$16. (The reason for that, is because it will total the amount we charge to attend our Summer Youth Camp \u2013 if you\u2019re confused already, you\u2019ll understand shortly.)<br>The teen\u2019s only objective is to go to family members, friends, neighbors, etc., and collect donations for their trip to camp (Or whatever event you are planning).&nbsp;<br>When they receive a $1 donation, they can cross off the $1 box on the grid. When they receive an $8 donation, they can cross off the $8 box on the grid. And so on and so forth all the way to the $16 box.&nbsp;<br>Once all boxes are marked off, they will have then raised their entire trip amount to camp.&nbsp;<br>Encourage teens not only to collect donations, but to work for them. They can mow someone\u2019s yard for $15, and then they can check that box off! They can babysit one night for $20, and then cross off the $14 box and the $6 box.&nbsp;<br>This helped our youth group in raising funds for camp last year, and quiet a few raised their entire trip. No hassle for me as the YP, I just had to check in with them to make sure they were trying their best, and collecting money.&nbsp;<br>Set a due date for all folders to be turned in, and whatever each teen turns in will go towards their trip. Even if they don\u2019t raise the entire amount.&nbsp;<br>And of course, after camp, they can follow along their Collection form and write Thank You notes to all their contributors that helped support their way to camp!&nbsp;<br>Hope this helps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/?ui=2&amp;ik=7fea08f541&amp;view=fimg&amp;th=16374acdf246fb54&amp;attid=0.0.1&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=ii_jhc3fd9q2_16373c65196ac1d6&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ-XuU3FIHbIU_0uoOOcqCBSRWEQy52SfOfDeYBzTPXbpsmQGtKpIJPUGUyMZdLXJ5Ddamg-noNo3vZ12FpQgsURUZYDhhxEcV4k626PgEKtEjHNMPCaW1lycm4&amp;sz=w908-h510&amp;ats=1526924982864&amp;rm=16374acdf246fb54&amp;zw&amp;atsh=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5701\" style=\"width:238px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4.png 350w, https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4-300x300-1.png 300w, https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Nathan\u00a0Pitts | Youth Pastor<br>Riverland Baptist Church | Dunnellon, Florida<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverlandbaptistchurch.com\/\">Riverland Baptist Church<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though times are currently difficult, and big summer events are approaching for your youth department, here\u2019s an easy way to raise money for your teens.\u00a0Being a camp director, I\u2019ve learned to get creative in the ways we raise money.
