YES! Camp: Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Youth

A-B Tech’s Small Business Center is accepting applications for its week-long summer day camp for middle- and high-school students interested in business ownership.

The Young Entrepreneurial Scholars (YES!) Camp is an NC REAL (North Carolina Rural Entrepreneurship through Action Learning) Youth Entrepreneurship camp. Campers will learn about entrepreneurship and how to create and start their own business in a fun, interactive setting.

Campers also gain an understanding about business resources in the community; generate business ideas; meet and learn from successful local entrepreneurs; and work and cooperate with other students in groups. They will develop critical-thinking and life skills; develop and practice leadership skills; gain self-confidence in business development activities; and identify and evaluate entrepreneurial opportunities in Western North Carolina.

The high-school camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 23-27, and the middle-school camp from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 21-25. Both sessions meet at A-B Tech Enka Site, Small Business Center. The cost for each session is $50.
