Registration is open for JA BizTown Camp and JA CEO Academy!
In JA BizTown Camp, students ages 8-13 and 14-16 run a "mini city," where citizens rush to the bank to deposit their paychecks, sales clerks create displays and reporters interview local business leaders to get the most up-to-date story. Campers will also participate in art and science projects, learn from guest speakers, go on field trips on the Broward College North Campus, and have fun with engaging fitness activities.
At our JA CEO Academy, through hands on activities, campers will learn about preparing for the working world around them.They will explore potential careers, discover ways to plan for employment, maintain a job, and how to map a path to employment goals.Campers will be challenged to use critical thinking to learn entrepreneurial skills that support positive attitudes as they explore and enhance their career aspirations.
