Youth Business Fair July 17, 24 and 31
You are invited to attend the Edwards Entrepreneurship Summer Youth Camp Business Fair! For those who may not be familiar, the Edwards School of Business hosts a weeklong Entrepreneurship Youth Summer Camp for kids aged 9 to 14. During this week, campers learn various aspects of business and apply their newly acquired skills by running micro-businesses. The camp culminates in a Business Fair where they showcase and sell their products and services.
This year marks the fifth year of the camp, which has grown significantly. We will have 120 young entrepreneurs participating in the three Business Fairs!
The fairs will be held on Friday, July 17, 24 & 31 from 10:30am to 2pm.
The events will take place at 25 Campus Drive, in the parking loop in front of the Edwards School of Business building. If there is inclement weather, the business fair will be hosted in Room 244, the Moeller Resource Room, on the top floor of Edwards. Please save the dates!
Come by and support our young entrepreneurs by shopping at the micro-businesses. Please bring cash—all proceeds from sales go directly to the young entrepreneurs. They will be offering a variety of snacks, games, crafts, services, and much more as the grand finale to their camp experience.
About
The Edwards School of Business offered the first ever Edwards Entrepreneurship Youth Camp in July of 2022. This innovative summer camp allows youth aged 9 to 14 to learn the functional areas of business and then apply their newly developed skills by actually running a micro-business and showcasing it on the last day of camp.
Participants will not only be able to develop a creative business of their own, but they will also get to interact with Saskatchewan’s entrepreneurship community. Experiential learning and business curriculum will be balanced with physical activity and games for an experience that is not only educational but fun!
This year marks the fifth year of the camp, which has grown significantly. We will have 120 young entrepreneurs participating in three Business Fairs!
Here are the highlights from previous years businesses and the innovative entrepreneurs behind the ideas:
