Learning and running a business is an essential skill for anyone to have. Participants will develop a business venture during this three-week program, starting with an idea and creating a BUSINESS to sell a product.
Participants will learn to identify a problem, define a service audience, assess their competition, design a logo, and brand their company.
The program runs from Monday through Thursday (no class on Fridays). The camp serves 15 to 17 years olds.

Program Overview
We will discuss ideas and decide on the product or service their venture will focus on during week one. This is when participants develop their branding, logo, identify their target audience and design a marketing strategy.
In week two, participants will search and secure suppliers with our sponsor's help, determine the price of their product, develop their MVP (minimal viable product), and draft their pitches, which will introduce their product or service to an audience.
In week three, participants will present their businesses producer or service, and learn how to run their companies/businesses after the program. During the last day of camp, participants will introduce their project to an online and in-person audience and invite them to invest in their venture.
Each group will meet with the instructor twice a day in conversations, while groups will be working among themselves on specific tasks for the rest of the day.
Participants will meet guest speakers from sponsor companies and entrepreneurs periodically.
