Camp Enterprise is an extensive three-day business camp for high school students. Sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Districts 5950 and 5960, Camp Enterprise introduces leadership activities focusing on the Free Enterprise System.
The 120 attendees are divided into teams and given a case study (or business). In "Shark Tank" fashion, the teams develop business and marketing plans they present to the venture capitalists (Sharks) to secure financing for their business on the last day of camp. Scholarships worth $5,000 will be awarded at this 38th annual Camp Enterprise.
The weekend includes business mentoring from over 80 Rotary volunteers, excellent speakers, and interactive social activities. Speakers include, but are not limited to, Isabel & Caroline Bercaw, teenage owners of Da Bomb Bath Fizzers (their product is in 7,000 stores); Randy Stenger, owner of Extreme Sandbox and past Shark Tank participant; and Ping Yeh, MN Cup grand prize winner and CEO of StemoniXinc.
Volunteers are still needed and 25 participant spots remain. The camp is held at Camp Ihduhapi in Loretto, about 30 minutes west of Minneapolis. For more information contact Sam Thompson at sthompson@transitionsib.com or 612-282-1750. Learn more about Camp Enterprise at www.campenterprise.org.
