I would not have guessed that gathering people to sing songs around a campfire could add up to billions of dollars.
U-M conducted the first national economic impact study of the U.S. youth camp industry since 1982, and found that the industry contributes $70 billion to the national economy while also supporting more than 986,000 workers. More from @UMichiganNews: myumi.ch/xqEp8
