Students received certificates of completion for participating in these camps. Eighty-three students enrolled in the week-long Financial Fitness Camp of June 2012 when the participants finished 8th grade. Fifty-four students enrolled in the four-day Financial Fitness Camp in June 2014 when the participants finished 10th grade. Hands-on learning activities, touring the campus, and having lunch at the campus Gastronome were memorable experiences for the students. View Photos Here »
