Camps Update & Business Week Recap

The camps are going great!!!! Hopefully I will do them again next year - send me feedback on your thoughts about pricing, times, themes, etc.. Enrollment for next week's camp is closed but there are still spots open in Epic Story Week - June 17-21 (campers will write, act and direct in their own MOVIE!), Theatre Week (July 15-19) and Myths, Fairytales and Folklore week (July 22-26). 

The camp that just wrapped was Business Week and the campers impressed me with running their own non-profit business. Throughout the week, the campers learned about for-profit and not-for-profit businesses, famous entrepreneurs and executives, and the stock market. They worked as a team to conduct their own not-for-profit business using Alex's Lemonade Stand as a platform. The campers served as CEO, CFO, VP of Marketing, etc... The CFO did a cost analysis on our products. The VP of Sales ran a taste test survey on several types of lemonades. The VP of Marketing designed the booth color scheme and produced a commercial. Each day of camp, the campers attended business meetings, made task lists and set goals. The compliments the campers received today at the Farmer's Market were awesome. People were amazed at the customer service skills (which we role played ahead of time) and the visual appeal of the booth (thank you iPad and Pinterest - which our campers used for research!).
