Entrepreneurship Discovery Camp
Seventeen Valley County youngsters took a crash course in building their own business during a three-day Entrepreneurship Discovery Camp in June 2011. The free event included lunch, snacks and educational materials, plus seed money to purchase supplies for new business ventures. The camp was made possible through a grant from the Valley County Community Foundation Fund – Youth Endowment.
The ESI (Entrepreneurship Investigation) Camp is a way for the kids to explore their own personalities, talents and hobbies and learn how to turn those interests into a business idea.
