Providing a fun, high-quality and affordable summer camp experience comes with expenses. From staffing and scholarships to programming and facility improvements, camp tuition alone rarely covers all the associated costs. Yet summer camp fundraising can sometimes feel like more work than its worth.
At Original Works, we make fundraising stress-free and accessible for summer camps with our simple art-based fundraising programs. Designed to nurture artistic development, boost self-esteem, and engage families in the camp experience, our summer camp fundraisers are also super easy to administer with online ordering and direct ship-to-home options, and no minimum order requirements.
How Our Online Direct Summer Camp Fundraisers Work
Our art-based fundraising programs turn campers’ original artwork into ceramic mugs, mousepads, magnets, canvas totes and hundreds of other custom products and gifts, which can be purchased online by family and friends to help support your summer camp.
Since many camps already include Arts & Crafts in their summer programs, Original Works is a natural fit, but we also make it super simple for summer camps who might be new to art activities by providing easy-to-follow art instructions and lesson plans. We also provide free art paper and marketing materials and a dedicated account manager to make fundraising for your summer camp as simple and stress-free as possible.
