Looking for a summer experience that combines fun with meaningful skill-building? Young Founders Summer Camp offers a unique two-week adventure where your child will transform their passions into real entrepreneurial ventures.

From July 14-25 at Peace University's Collaboratory, rising 4th-8th graders will work with expert mentors to develop their own creative projects - whether that's writing stories, launching podcasts, designing products, or creating apps. Along the way, they'll learn essential skills like public speaking, teamwork, creative problem-solving, and basic business concepts through engaging, hands-on activities.

What makes our camp special? Your child will:

Build lasting friendships with like-minded peers in a supportive community
Experience the excitement of solving real-world problems together
Develop confidence through creative challenges and fun team projects
Learn valuable skills that extend far beyond the classroom

Unlike typical STEM camps, we focus on the whole child - nurturing creativity, building social skills, and developing practical abilities they'll use throughout life. Each day combines structured learning with plenty of active fun, and culminates in a special showcase where students present their finished projects to family and friends.

Perfect for curious, creative kids who love to imagine, build, and share their ideas! Whether your child is already entrepreneurial or simply enjoys hands-on projects, they'll thrive in our supportive environment.

$700 includes all materials, daily snacks, a camp t-shirt, and professional mentorship.
