Smart Start to Business

Business Leadership Day-Camp for middle and high school age students

This exciting camp gives teens an in-depth look at business ownership. Campers go home with a new title of president or CEO of their own company, a real working business plan, business cards, and marketing plans — ready to collect revenue from their first entrepreneurial ventures.

Students enjoy group activities, case studies, games, competitions, and special speakers. They’ll also participate in the YoungBiz Business Plan Challenge, where they present their business plans to businesspeople and compete for venture capital.

Campers will develop skills in negotiation, sales, customer service, problem solving, networking, time management, record keeping, and public speaking. Using a unique hands-on approach, this challenging camp instills an outlook and mindset in youth that will help them discover financial opportunities now and throughout life.

Every Smart Start to Business student will learn how to:

• Recognize money-making opportunity
• Estimate start-up costs and operating expenses
• Write a real business plan
• Set up a record-keeping system
• Design marketing materials and ads
• Deliver a sales presentation
• Become a job-maker instead of a job-taker
