What is Biz Camp?
During Biz Camp participants will have the opportunity to acquire business, financial literacy and leadership skills through hands-on activities. Participants learn about the different parts of business from people in the community who practice every day what they are teaching. The goal of this entrepreneurial academy is for the students to work in teams to create a start-up business plan which they present in a competition on the final day.
