This petition is to ask the Obama administration to help children go to camp. This will not take tax dollars to private organizations but asks that Mr. President creates a tax benefit for middle class parents to help their children go to camp. Currently, the tax code only recognizes day camps and thus, parents cannot use pre-tax dollars to pay for what is the most important experience a child cold have. Summer camps teach independence, teamwork, sportsmanship, and healthy eating, all values that the Obama administration has endorsed in the past!
