Beyond The Box Camp

We just finished an amazing summer! Our students delved into two best-selling novels to gain a deeper understanding of business. Although they didn’t enjoy taking written tests, the highlight of the summer was undoubtedly seeing a Guardians game.

We had some fantastic guest speakers, including international lawyer Steve Sperry, who educated us on antitrust laws. Nelly Belly Food Trucks showed us how to take culinary talents on the road, and Ariane Kirkpatrick gave us a glimpse into the life of a serial entrepreneur.

By the end of camp, our future moguls were ready to launch their first businesses. At our First Youth Business Expo, the money came pouring in, with every booth making at least a hundred dollars in profit. Students were able to do what they liked with their profits: some started paying off their loans, others purchased new items for personal use, and a few decided to save for the future.

It was a summer of growth, learning, and unforgettable experiences. We can’t wait to see what our young entrepreneurs will achieve next!
