Financial Boot Camp

Our free High School Financial Boot Camp is a full-day crash course in learning how to manage money. Topics include building credit, paying for college, budgeting, saving, and more.

Understanding Finances

With increased independence comes great responsibility. During the summer, our Community Education team helps teens going into grades 9-12 learn smart money management through games and a hands-on financial simulation! Campers will improve their understanding of complex topics – like budgeting, credit, investing, and more – plus there are prizes and pizza too!
