If so, sign them up for Camp Start-Up, an entrepreneurship day camp and business pitch competition to be held June 27-30th from 9 am – 3 pm at Elevate, Cross County Innovation Center, in Mattoon, IL. Campers will learn what they need to start up, market and run their own business or start a business with friends. Local entrepreneurs and ClassE alumni will mentor you and your friends to get your venture started.
“Camp Start-up was one of my favorite camps I’ve ever been to. All of the staff were super kind and helpful,” says Chaya Haslett, Camp Start-up participant in 2021. “The games they played were all so fun and I would definitely recommend Camp Start-up for any young entrepreneur who wants to start a business like me.” The fee is $149 per camper. However, ten full scholarships are available to Charleston Middle School Students thanks to a Consolidated Communication Endowment for Economic Development and Community Leadership grant. Other partial scholarships are also available. Learn more and register online at: https://www.dauconsultingservices.com/camp-start-up/.
