Consciously Cool Chick’s SHOPPING FOR A CAUSE
While grateful that Camille Enkeboll’s family’s foundation was able to donate over $180,000 to charities in 2015, she wanted to do more. Raise money. Create change. Inspire others. It’s in that spirit of giving back, that Shopping for a Cause was born. When customers purchase one of the ‘Shop for a Cause’ products, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Enkeboll Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit, to support education, health and children’s programs. Camille chose a popular tank, sweatshirt and yoga mat from the CCC’s collection – and even designed a new yoga mat just for this program. While these products will definitely make a statement, your purchase will also help make a difference for others.

Debuted by Kuato Studios, Dino Tales & Safari Tales have an emphasis on ‘learnification,’ defined as ‘skills that drive learning with play at its core,’ and expertly strengthen enquiry, literacy and reasoning skills. They offer fun and engaging challenges within the prehistoric world that ultimately create a personalized story for parent and child to enjoy! Using innovative technology with the use of SIRI, the child can ask factual questions about the creatures and items they encounter throughout their journey to their own personal sidekick – Darwin. Teeming with wildlife, lava slides, volcanoes, a musical boneyard and more, these games remain enthusiastic whilst educating.
Camping & Education Foundation’s summer camps for boys and girls
They have outlawed cell phones, access to email and communications with family and friends at home to jumpstart kid‘s starved development of independence, self-worth and other life skills. Kids spend the summer experiencing the outdoors and learning new skills instead of being exposed to negative messaging on social media. At camp Kooch-i-ching and Ogichi-da-Kwe, kids learn a unique style of camping and outdoors skills. They learn how to pack and carry wannigans, portaging canoes, Native American history and many other activities that come to mind when thinking about summer camp like archery and team games.
