Summer Business Camp (Ages 8 to 14)
$14.00 CAD
Ten weeks of summer spent running a real small business. Not a pretend one. By the end there is money in a tin and a record of where it came from.
The ten weeks
- One Pick something you could actually start this week
- Two Ask five real people whether they would buy it
- Three Make one, properly finished
- Four Work out what it costs, including your own time
- Five Set a price between your floor and your ceiling
- Six Name it and make a sign
- Seven Work out where your customers already are
- Eight Make your first sale, to a real person, for real money
- Nine Keep going and keep count
- Ten Add it all up and decide what happens next
How it works
One week, one step, about an hour each. Week eight is the point of the whole thing: a real sale to a real person. Everything before it exists to make that week possible.
Small is deliberate. Biscuits, dog walking, car washing, friendship bracelets, weeding. An ambitious idea that never launches teaches nothing.
Weeks can slip. Miss a fortnight in the middle of summer and pick it back up. Nothing expires.
