The camp focuses on financial literacy and the stock market to help high school students form good financial habits.

Each student is assigned a specific budget and researches and reports on the lifestyle choices the budget allows. Students will learn how to manage their money for when they begin to work. All projects are accomplished during camp hours.

This authentic stock market trading room, complete with electronic tickertape carrying financial data from multiple world markets, brings the experience of Wall Street and the global marketplace to the students’ summer. When asked how they spent their summer vacation, they can answer, “My parents gave me $1,000,000 and I used it to trade on Wall Street!”
