The My Money Camp financial literacy program in Indianapolis-Carmel, Indiana includes 20 hours of instruction. The camp runs for four days, three hours per day, with one age group in the morning and the other in the afternoon. That's 12 hours of in-person small-group instruction, plus an additional eight hours of virtual and remote learning materials that can be completed at home and shared with family. The instructors at this and all other My Money Camps are licensed teachers from your local area, specially trained in the My Money Camp curriculum.
Before teenagers can learn about managing money, they have to learn about earning money. The first day of My Money Camp focuses on career choices, salaries, and everything that goes into and out of a paycheck. We discuss why a paycheck might look different for two people with the same jobs in New York City and Jacksonville Florida.
After teaching teens all about earning money, we help them understand how to spend it responsibly. Most teens have no idea how much anything costs, from a Big Mac to a car or house. We include fun games that helps them build a responsible budget, introducing real life scenarios that force them to make difficult choices based on the salaries for the jobs we discussed on Day One.
This is the day that teenagers attending our financial literacy camp see the rainbow at the end of road. Establishing responsible saving and investing habits early on can result in everyday Americans retiring with millions of dollars. This isn't a stock market trading game, we don't give specific investment advice, and we don't have any partnerships with companies to push. Teenagers see how a small amount of money saved and invested regularly can turn into a mountain later in life.
Just as important as learning how to build wealth over time, it's imperative that teenagers learn at a young age how to avoid losing it. The final day of My Money Camp focuses on good debt vs. bad debt, and the importance of using financial tools like credit cards and loans responsibly. Falling into debt at a young age can result in a life-altering spiral from which recovery is difficult.
