ABOUT
The Money Moves City Play Summer Camp is a four-week enrichment program for youth ages 10 – 16 that combines financial literacy, career exploration, civic leadership, and theatre. Students will step into real-world city roles, such as mayor, police officer, firefighter, banker, and business owner, and bring their learning to life through a final City Play performance. This program is a continuation of the Money Moves Summer Camp and serves as a capstone experience.
