"This is a 4-day camp, 1-hour sessions per day, up to 5 kids in the group.

Empower middle school students to effectively set goals, prepare for careers, and manage their financial future through interactive, real-life scenarios.

Course Outline.

1. Welcome Mayor!:

Students are introduced to the course storyline and reflect on their own personal financial priorities, habits and mindsets through a “Financial Personality Test”.

2. Smart Shopping:

Students are introduced to David, a middle school student that wants to redecorate his room on a limited budget. Students must prioritize David’s budget, use comparison-shopping methods to decide which specific items to buy, research upcoming spending decisions, and make smart choices about when to spend or save.

3. Ways to Pay:

Students meet Trevor, a college student who needs help saving for an end of summer trip while managing his day-to-day expenses. Students must help him select a job, review his paycheck and credit card statement, and help him make decisions about when to utilize different payment types.

4. Investing in You:

Students advise Sydney, a high school student, on her future career path. Students must help her narrow down the career path she’d like to pursue – by examining her skills and interests, the career’s income potential, and it’s education and training requirements. Afterwards, students help Sydney find ways to reduce the out-of-pocket cost of her first year of post-secondary education.

5. Growing a Business:

Students help Mia, a business owner, calculate her monthly profit and loss, and devise a strategy to save up for new capital for her business. Students must help the business owner open savings and checking accounts, grow her money faster with a certificate of deposit, and make monthly transaction decisions.

6. Your Financial Future:

Students accompany Chris, as a recent college graduate, as he goes through a “life simulation”, helping him make insurance and investment decisions at critical life milestones. Students help Chris select different insurance policies (and experience how random, unexpected occurrences can lead to financial loss), and help him adjust his investment portfolio as he nears retirement age.

7. Build Your Blueprint:

Using their knowledge and experience from the course, students set their own financial goals and make plans for their future. The students’ answers create a portfolio piece – their “Blueprint” – that can be printed or shared with others. This personalized document details the student’s future career interests, plans for post-secondary education, and next action steps."
