Campers at Chesterbrook Academy Kids Campus in Chantilly Sell Crafty Creations to Benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Campers at Chesterbrook Academy donated funds raised from selling homemade bracelets and rings.

Campers at Chesterbrook Academy Kids Campus in Chantilly channeled their crafty sides this summer to create a fun community service project with a charitable purpose. Throughout July and August, senior campers in grades two through six weaved dozens of rings and bracelets to sell on Fridays for 10 to 75 cents each and raised a total of $150 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The project came to life after campers expressed interest in helping other children who are too sick to enjoy summer camp. One bracelet at a time, students learned the importance of giving to those in need.
