Programs

Description
During the camp, student teams assume the leadership of their assigned corporation by acting as the executive management committee. Each student team is advised by volunteer area professionals-including accountants, attorneys, investment bankers, and marketing specialists-who serve as business consultants to each team. The executives help students understand these very complex transactions, and give them guidance on the proper techniques used when negotiating a merger or acquisition.
During the fall, winter and spring, students and their families are invited to participate in monthly development programs aimed at building knowledge in areas such as generational wealth and personal development. During these sessions area professionals lead workshops aimed at continuously engaging the families and expanding their knowledge.
