Program Description: At Break Into Business/Stock Market Game Camp, campers will learn all about business while having a remarkable and fun experience with friends. At BiB Camp, we get your kids excited about business! During the week campers will learn all about the PEOPLE, PRODUCTS, PROFIT, PROMOTION, and PITCH it takes to start a real business leading up to a Shark Tank session with local business leaders. Along with launching real kid businesses, they'll learn the ins and outs of the stock market and buy and sell in a week-long competition to see who can turn their seed funds into the most profit. Join kid entrepreneurs from across the nation this summer for our culminating Big Summer Launch where we'll send our most successful kid entrepreneurs to pitch to some pretty awesome business leaders to compete for a $500 prize!
