York, Pa – Everyone had a rockin’ good time at First Capital Federal Credit Union over the weekend.  Kids came from all over the county to help us kick off National Credit Union Youth Week.  In conjunction with this year’s theme, Money Rocks at MY Credit Union, First Capital staged a Guitar Hero and Just Dance challenge.  Youth could also take part in an egg obstacle course, an egg walk, play the match game, and color pictures.  First Capital used the event to help teach kids about saving and budgeting.  They could earn money by doing some of the games but had to pay to play others.  In the end the kids had to decide what was most important to them, playing the games or buying prizes.  Hot dogs, chips, pretzels, desserts and drinks were also provided.

In addition, youth who deposit a qualifying amount of money into their accounts this week will also receive a chance to fish for free cash.  Youth will be able to use one hand to pull out a handful of coins (a mixture of pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters) which will be deposited into their account.  This is just one more way to help our youth learn the value of saving.
