Help me give my students materials to create a camping center in our dramtic play center.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simms's classroom raised $597

My Project

My students love to use their imagination to learn and explore. They would enjoy a new, fun dramatic play center. Dramtic play center builds students social, emotional and language skills.

I would be thrilled to give my students the opportunity to experience camping indoors!

Our project includes a camper play tent, pretend grill with food, camp fire, s'mores, flashlight, lanterns, fishing gear and camp vests. These items will make our campsite come alive!

This project will be so exciting for my students. They will love the opportunity to have lots of fun camping adventures with their friends.
