Our Vision

My Money Camp was created by Marc Hoffman, a retired business and financial editor, coach, entrepreneur and adjunct college professor. After a career in sports and financial journalism, Hoffman founded U.S. Baseball Academy, which became the nation's largest network of baseball camps. He quickly grew that business from one camp to 250 locations serving 25,000 students annually, before selling it to an investment group in 2017. The blueprint for U.S. Baseball Academy – and now My Money Camp – is creating one successful itinerary and set of teaching standards and carrying it to hundreds of locations nationwide, using local instructors in each market. "After teaching baseball skills to half a million participants, we're excited to turn our attention to teaching something much more important – financial skills," he said. "Financial education at an early age isn't just important, it is life-changing. Our goal is to reach one million kids as quickly as possible."
