Wilbraham & Monson Academy
Wilbraham, MA

Camp Start-Up offers teens (ages 14-18) experiences that will give them the skills to start something great—launch a company, run a non-profit, or just be prepared for life beyond high school. They'll meet the coolest entrepreneurs, learn how to start a business, budget, and save.

At our Paul Smith's College location, campers will focus on local and sustainable business models and put their skills to use writing and presenting a business plan for their own mock start-up. At our Wilbraham & Monson camp, they'll do this and build a stock portfolio on a simulated trading floor.
