• Ask your school or school district if they have additional funds to support your career aspirations or know of scholarships you could apply for.
• Get a part-time job like babysitting to fund the camp.
• Share your passion about the camp you want to attend and why with your mentors, family members and others close to you. Brainstorm together ways to raise the money.
