During the camps, students learn the fundamentals of starting their own business. Specifically, the children:

• Select and create products
• Calculate the cost, determine the price, and calculate the profit of the products using a spreadsheet
• Learn how to market and sell their products at the end of the week
• Begin a personal savings plan to invest their profits
• Contribute a portion of their earnings to a charity of their choice

Camp curriculums are tailored to the ages of the campers, with one set of courses for ages 8-12 and another for ages 13-15.

Camps are held during holidays, summer break and after school.

Through generous private and corporate sponsorships, scholarships are available for campers who cannot afford the tuition!
