All costs for Partnership including the Mighty Acorns Assistant, professional development, curriculum development, Seedling newsletter, website, summer camp, and quarterly partner meetings are funded through donations, fundraisers, and grants. Each partner is responsible for funding their own program costs including staff, training and materials.

Summer camp typically costs $235 per student but is provided at minimal cost of $25 to the students. The remainder is raised through grants and donations. This year 140 Mighty Acorns students from the Chicago Wilderness region attended 4-night, 5 day sleepover camp. Consider sponsoring a camper this year and help make the experience available to a child who otherwise might not be able to attend camp.
