A Typical Teen Summer Camp Day
Each day you and your company dive into your real-world business simulation in the career pathway you’ve chosen. Each day you make "real life" decisions as a team as you compete against the other teen companies. To help you along the way you’ll hear from real-world business leaders as they describe their experiences and challenges. You will also participate in interactive projects with other companies.

It's not all work, though! We pack in a load of fun during the week including dances, campus tours, a talent show, and plenty of free time activities!

Washington Business Week offers high school students week-long summer camps and in-school programs during the academic school year. The teen summer program provides hands-on career training in business, healthcare, construction, and manufacturing. Summer camps are held throughout Washington (WA). Look for teen summer camps in Tacoma, Ellensburg, Bellingham and Spokane.  Washington Business Week and the Pathways are programs of the Foundation for Private Enterprise Education, a 501(c)(3) organization.
