Youth Finance and Entrepreneur Leadership Sleep Away Summer Camp
Integrating Viswise Academy's exclusive financial intelligence, entrepreneurship and leadership courses. Educate and inspire the next generation of leaders this summer.
In our sleep away summer program, teens take hands-on courses on personal financial goal setting, budgeting and credit, negotiation, prototyping, business structure and financial modeling, branding, resilience, and more. Staff and visiting mentors include entrepreneurs, industry experts, and financial educators.
No two days are the same -- we meet in the most engaging way. Expect creative team projects, meaningful but fun workshops, leadership challenges, drills and formations, plenty of field trips and sports.
In addition to workshops and speakers, teens will work as a team during each class to come up with an original, viable business idea on the last day. The reports will be judged by investors and executives from a variety of industries.
We encourage autonomy and independence throughout the project, while our professional staff work to ensure safety and accountability.
