Coins for Campers consists of a week-long change drive. Students collect pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and any other monetary donations throughout the week and are able to use their creativity in how this is done. At the end of the change drive, the class or homeroom that collects the most money will receive a free pizza party, and a gift card to an office supply store will be rewarded to the winning class’ teacher.
