Finance and Career Camp: What Will I Be When I Grow Up? (4th-8th Grade)

Preparing students today for potential careers tomorrow will be a challenge. Our world is ever-changing, and it is a difficult task as adults to navigate career and financial responsibility. Early financial education teaches students how to develop a healthy relationship with money. They learn the importance of earning, saving, budgeting, and managing their debt, becoming a financially responsible adult. We have prepared a dynamic and engaging learning experience to help your child develop reliable money management skills based upon a future occupation of their choice.
