5 Days | 2 Options | High School Students | Residential
This camp puts teens in the C-suite.
Work alongside corporate executives in a high-stakes business simulation to buy or sell a company.
Explore careers, build essential skills—like negotiation, presentation, teamwork, and critical thinking—and experience dorm life during this week-long residential camp.
Students team up with real business executives to compete in a hands-on challenge—buying or selling a company.
Along the way, students meet leaders from 15 different fields, including marketing, human resources, technology, finance, accounting, and more.
By the end of the week, students leave with new connections, real-world experience, and a better understanding of what it takes to succeed in high-paying, fast-growing careers in business.
Youth About Business is the most transformative summer experience in which I have ever participated. I arrived the first day of Basic Camp as a wide-eyed freshman mildly interested in business and left as a more confident, leadership-oriented student who gained tangible skills that would prove to be useful even six years down the line.
