WHO IS BIZ CAMP FOR?
JA Biz Camp is a weeklong educational business camp for students aged 10 to 14 years old.
WHAT WILL CAMPERS DO?
MONDAY
As Job Candidates, campers determine their career interest/skills and strengths, complete job applications, and interview for a position in a Biz Camp business during an afternoon Job Fair.
TUESDAY
As Business Professionals, campers are introduced to their business purpose, products, and plans. They practice using a checking account, discuss charitable giving and create a presentation for the camp at large. They plan and create goods and services, and receive on-the-job training towards operating their business.
WEDNESDAY
As Entrepreneurs, campers undergo additional training. They then follow their Business Planning Guide and Start Up Checklist to complete final tasks, including loan applications, paychecks, advertisements, product inventories and sales displays. Once all is finished, Biz Camp opens for business!!
THURSDAY
As Customers, campers will balance their checkbook, deposit their paycheck, and shop in one of 13 businesses. As Business Entrepreneurs, campers will create and sell goods and services, pay bills, make deposits and loan payments, use marketing and customer service techniques, and maybe even make a profit!
FRIDAY
Campers make and spend money while running their business one last time in hopes of paying off their loan. Friday’s Business Conference allows for time to evaluate and reflect. Then, as Philanthropists, campers run a Fund Raising Carnival, followed by a real dollar check presentation to the pre-selected Charity of the Week.

Campers have fun in a safe, educational setting…practice problem solving for business challenges with the help of teachers and counselors…win prizes through raffles and contests!...act out customer service skits…listen to guest speakers from the business community…view a special BizKid$ video and more!
