Thank you for your support of 2018 Rotary Camp Enterprise. A collaborative project between the Rotary Club of Edina and the Edina Morningside Rotary Club, this was the 38th year of Camp E -- and another tremendous success.
 
As a direct result of generous sponsorship by 55 Rotary clubs from throughout Districts 5950 and 5960, we hosted 108 high school juniors and seniors at YMCA Camp Ihduhapi in Loretto. While the main focus of Camp Enterprise is on the development of leadership and business skills, students are also introduced to the values of Rotary, including the Four-Way Test and Rotary’s guiding principle of Service Above Self.
 
At the conclusion of Camp E we awarded six $1,000 higher education scholarships to students of exceptional merit. However, Camp E is transformative for all students who leave as future leaders with a newfound interest in business and entrepreneurship, as well as Rotary.
 
Please accept our sincere thanks for your club’s support of Camp Enterprise. Also, please include sponsorship of students in your budget for next year and start thinking about students in your community who may be interested in attending Camp E on November 7–9, 2019.
