UBC Camps Headquarters — Entrepreneurship

I enrolled my 12-year-old son in the UBC Camps Headquarters Entrepreneurship program in Vancouver, and overall, it was a solid experience. The program runs weekly and covers various aspects of starting a business. My son particularly enjoyed the creative project where he had to develop a simple business plan for a lemonade stand. His instructor, Mark, was very engaging and encouraged the kids to think outside the box. One small annoyance was the long lines during pick-up, which took up more time than I’d like. However, my son made a friend there, which made the experience even more worthwhile for him. I'd recommend it for kids who are creative and interested in entrepreneurship, but be prepared for a bit of waiting at the end of the day.

My 12-year-old daughter recently attended the UBC Camps Headquarters Entrepreneurship program in Vancouver. I was impressed by how engaged the staff were, particularly instructor Sarah, who clearly had a passion for teaching the kids about business. My daughter learned about creating a business plan and even came home excited about the mock startup she developed. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, there were some long lines during pickup, which made things a bit chaotic at times. Overall, I think the program fostered a great environment for my child to express her creativity and think critically about entrepreneurship. I would recommend this program, especially for kids who enjoy hands-on projects and working in teams.
