The campers learn about being an entrepreneur through fun exercises and the special Camp workbooks. Everything from coming up with a great business idea, to promotion and finances, to first impressions, body language and attitude.

Experience:

Campers are given twenty dollars to create a product they can sell. During camp time they make the product and design their promotional posters. The last day at camp kids is the kids market where they sell their products and make some summer cash!!
