My Money Camp is the nation's fastest-growing provider of hands-on financial education for students age 13-19, bringing a fun and proven curriculum along with engaging instructors to hundreds of locations across the U.S.
The four-day program introduces teens to real-world exercises in earning money, spending money, saving money and investing. This is not a stock-market trading game. Students learn how much various jobs pay and how much things cost, how to build and manage a budget, differences between debit cards, credit cards and payment apps, the magic of investing and compound returns, and most important of all, how to avoid a life-altering debt trap.
Money doesn't grow on trees, but parents can plant the seeds of their children's future by giving them financial literacy well before they leave for college. As shown in numerous independent studies, adults who were exposed to financial education as teenagers have higher wages, less bad debt, more retirement savings and are more likely to own a business.
The hands-on program includes 20 hours of instruction - 12 hours of small-group classroom sessions plus eight hours of virtual and self-paced supplements. Campers learn quickly and retain the material because classes aren't just informative, they are fun and immediately useful.
No responsible parent would let a teenager behind the wheel of a car without some form of driver's education; don't let your student wreck his or her future because they lack a financial education.
