SPROUTS' AUCTION
The Sprouts' very own auction! Using "Herb Bucks" provided by the staff, kids will have the opportunity to learn how a real auction works by bidding on real items they can take home. $10 in Herb Bucks for each child will be available in the Welcome Tent for a parent or guardian to pick up. We encourage you to use these Herb Bucks as payment to your child for chores done around camp during the event. An additional amount of Herb Bucks - the same amount to each child - will be distributed before the auction starts. So every child may participate, but hard working Sprouts have even more Herb Bucks to bid with!
