My kids live a very privileged life. 13yo DS expressed interest in getting a job over camps and traveling. I would love for him to understand the value of money.

I would have him mow lawns and pull weeds. Put an ad on the listserv for your neighborhood. If he gets offers, buy him a lawn mower as an upfront cost that he can slowly deduct and pay you back from jobs. He will learn the value of money.
Or he can try to get a CIT camp counselor job. |

| It used to be 13 to work as a CIT at most camps, now that age requirement has been moved up. |

You have to pay to enroll, but if you are interested, Camp Invention has a sort of CIT program.

| My 13 yo will be a CIT at Y camp this summer. It is not paid, but she also doesn't have to pay anything. |

| Mowing lawns and babysitting. |

That’s not true. It’s not as expensive as being a camper, but you do have to pay a fee to be a CIT. My daughter did it at the Reston location and it was a joke. She basically felt like a babysitter and learned nothing. |
