Kindness Economy

Step into a world where kindness grows money trees! In The Kindness Economy, young learners explore the basics of financial literacy through a hands-on, values-driven adventure. Using a magical metaphor—the Kindness Tree—children earn "leaves" (stocks) through acts of generosity, smart spending choices, saving, and teamwork. Each day, campers engage in role-playing activities, creative crafts, and team challenges that help them understand how money works—and how kindness can make it grow. By the end of the week, students will showcase their own savings goals, cooperative towns, and tree trackers to their families in a joyful celebration. What Kids Will Learn: How to tell the difference between needs and wants Why saving is powerful (and fun!) How to budget with limited resources The magic of teamwork and sharing A gentle introduction to investing using classroom currency and Kindness Leaves Why It’s Unique: Unlike traditional finance programs, this camp blends empathy with economics. Kids don’t just learn how to manage money—they learn how to use it responsibly, collaboratively, and with heart.
