AYEC is a week-long camp for youth ages 13- 15 who are interested in learning about business and entrepreneurship. The main focus of this camp is to educate youth about marketing, advertising, preparing a cash-flow statement and writing a business plan. Campers set up their own businesses and use real money which they borrow from actual bankers. The last day is “Business Day” at the camp, where campers have the opportunity to open and operate their businesses. The youth also get to participate in many fun recreational activities throughout their week at camp.
The 2011 Alberta Youth Entrepreneurship Camp will run August 21st to 27th 2011 and the application deadline for youth to apply is June 3rd 2011.
