Camp Enterprise for High School Students
May 7 – 10, 2015
The Rotary Club of Alliston is looking for high school students to attend the annual Camp Enterprise program from May 7th to 10th this year. The club has been sending students to this excellent program for many years.
The Objective of Camp Enterprise is to expose, explore, and spur the student’s imagination on the whole subject of business and private enterprise. In providing students with a broad view of professional, business and management careers, the program presents business and management as challenging positions offering enormous personal satisfaction. While allowing the individual to exercise maximum creativity, the program at the same time emphasizes obligations to serve and contribute in the community.
Some of the topics addressed over the course of the camp include:
- Presentation and panel on starting a business;
- Presentation and discussion exercise on planning and team building in business and life;
- The acting out of an educational and enjoyable, business game;
- Presentation of the fundamentals of the free enterprise system;
- Participatory labor and management agreement negotiations;
- A presentation on communications and financing;
- A presentation on business ethics; and
- Marketing and branding presentation.
Up to 64 students from grade 11 and 12, from local secondary schools within the local Rotary Clubs jurisdiction are hosted by the Camp which is run each spring by 15 Rotary clubs in the northern Greater Toronto Area. The clubs recruit students from 25 area high schools.
