Campers engage in team-building activities, guided self-exploration, and mock interviews to discover career interests and gain work experience.

This experience helps students build a strong foundation for making intelligent lifelong financial decisions and prepares them for real-world financial challenges.
Campers participate in hands-on, team-building activities focused on career exploration and money management, culminating in a budgeting simulation where they manage adult finances.
