Money Adventures for Kids
Money Adventures
is a fun and interactive new program designed to provide kids ages 10 – 12 with the financial tools they need to be financially free and healthy.  Information covered includes the importance of saving and investing (including why it’s best to start early in life), wants versus needs, creating a budget, the meaning of debt / credit, and entrepreneurial basics.  Participants will gain the skills to manage their money now and will be prepared before they start earning bigger paychecks as teenagers and adults.

The program will run from 9 am – 3 pm on June 12 in Tea City Hall (west of Sunshine Foods). The cost of the program is $10 which includes materials and lunch.  The program is limited to 20 participants.  A $5 deposit will be required.  If cost is prohibiting your child’s attendance, scholarships may be available.

To register for Money Adventures, or for more information contact Mark at the Lincoln County Extension Office at 764-2756 or mark.rowen@ces.sdstate.edu.  Register early since participation is limited.
