Want badly to go to summer camp!
Hi. For summer 2015 I really really want to do a 1 week full day session of gymnastics. I'm tired of not being active. My parents would love for me to do it, but the problem is cost. I'm only 12… it's $375. I have $0. Any advice? I come from a really poor family…

You know, jumping from not being active to a full week of gymnastics might not be such a great idea, unless the week is specifically for people like yourself.
You do not actually need money to start becoming active, and money won't magically fix it.

Call your local Police Department to see if they are offering a PALS Camp and if you might qualify to attend one week. PALS Camp offer a variety of activities which may include gymnastics. You should also contact your local your local Parks a Recreation Department to see what summer activities they are offering. Your school system may also be offering summer activities which may very well include gymnastics.
All of the above activities are either at no cost or very little cost. Space is usually limited so the sooner you call the better your chances of gaining a space is.

Right now just do at home workouts. It is the same thing as being healthy and active! As you grow then you will be able to get a job and earn some money. For now because you are young just do active things at home. Do some things like push ups, curl ups or Sit ups things like that. Make sure to get enough water ;) Good Luck! I hope this helped.

Summer means tons of free time to hang out with friends. It means trips to the beach with the family, playing baseball with dad in the backyard, or helping mom out in the garden. Of course, for some kids it means packing up a suitcase and getting shipped off for a few months to sleepaway camp.

Well you dont have much time to raise money, it would've been better raising funds already in April and May. But being its summer, neighbors may be going on vacation. Not all places welcome pets so they may need a pet sitter or someone just to walk their dog. Ask around your neighborhood or have the parents mention to friends and coworkers who live nearby, that you are will to pet sit. Your parents would have to be willing to allow you at 12 to do such a thing and be close enough for you to call in case of emergency such as a pet becoming ill. At age 12, my step daughter was creating outfits in the IMVU online game/venue and people were buying her outfits. She was earning money and needed a way for them to pay her and got a paypal acct with parents permission and also with their help, her own savings account where the funds could be transfered. If you are good at art or some such thing, there may be opportunity to earn money there. You may not be able to raise enough in time to attend but it is still a good idea to pursue, especially considering the parents are financially tight on funds so even getting the shoes or clothes you want or being able to go out to a movie with friends will always be out of the question. Is it better to start earning your own money now and saving it up for other future things you are going to want money to pay for just as badly. If there are any elderly neighbors, they can always use extra help but never ask for it cus they also live on a tight budget but they will be willing to pay something you can agree on per job. If you can't come up with ideas that pan out, start telling every adult you know that you want to start earning your own money, ask teachers, neighbors or your girlfriends parents, and your own, for ideas. What do they do that they hate to do and would be willing to pay a kid to do it for them? I remember once seeing a youtube video of two girls, sisters maybe 8 and 10 who soon had a full fledged business going daily to different neighbors yards to scoop up pets poop and got paid for it. It is not a glamorous job and I can attest that I hated doing it. If some kid came along and was willing to do it for a reasonable rate, I would have hired them, seriously. Again, your parents need to be okay with who you approach for work and know the people or at least willing to meet them. Never go in the peoples homes, just have them pay you at the door.It would be safest if one parent was willing to take a little time each night until they've walked with you to all the neighbors nearby and also again with you at weeks end to go collecting your pay. These sisters were so busy they were turning away jobs as I heard.
Hope this all helps
