What is Stamp Camp USA?
Stamp Camp USA is a collaborative educational program for children ages 8 to 14. Campers begin by learning stamp collecting basics, including the proper care of a stamp collection and the use of cool stamp tools. Popular hands-on activities follow, with an emphasis on creative story-telling, through individual and team projects. The camp schedule is flexible, ranging anywhere from an hour, a day to a week. Each student receives a cool stamp notebook, with stamp album pages, mounting and information pages, and other collecting tools and supplies. After they learn the basics, campers select a topic and then hunt for related stamps, envelopes, and postmarks in the donations. These materials become part of their personal collections, to be used in their projects, such as creative three-dimensional exhibits or four-page competitive story exhibits. Throughout these activities, each camper earns Stamp Camp Cash, which they use to purchase prizes at an end-of-camp auction. Stamp Camp USA alway
