Lunch will be provided daily. Enrollment is limited to 20 students per camp. Attendees must be participants in SCC’s Educational Talent Search Program.

The four-day camps will offer hands-on activities to teach youth the concepts of saving, budgeting, and entrepreneurship. Local SECU staff will lead camp activities using Biz Kid$, a credit-union-backed, award-winning public television series for middle-school students.
