This summer, we’re challenging our campers to think like CEOs and survivalists. Imagine being stranded in a remote area after a plane crash. What do you need to survive? How do you calm the nerves of fellow travelers? Campers will dive into real-life survival stories to identify “pain points” and engineer a product designed to solve the ultimate problem: surviving the unthinkable.

From mastering the 4 P’s of Marketing to delivering a high-impact Elevator Pitch, this program blends creative design with hard-hitting business logic. Whether your camper is a budding designer or a future executive, they’ll leave with an addition to their professional portfolio and the to make their entrepreneurial dreams a success. 

Lunch is provided everyday at camp.

  • An immersive business case study where teams design products to solve the challenges of remote survival and flight anxiety.
  • Direct instruction from SF faculty on visual branding, color psychology, the “4 P’s of Marketing,” and startup logistics.
  • Moving from “The Big Idea” to “The Build” by creating physical or digital MVPs (Minimum Viable Products).
  • A collaborative team experience where campers build professional pitch decks and receive 1-on-1 coaching to master the art of the “Shark Tank” presentation.

All Saint Francis Discovery Academy experiences are designed and taught by SF educators, giving campers a true taste of life on a college campus while exploring high-growth career paths.

This camp is a journey of self-discovery, helping campers identify their unique strengths and how to apply them to their academic and professional futures. Through the lens of our “Camp Castaway” survival challenge, campers will:

Program Outcomes:

“I plan on attending again next year. I had a really great time and even met one of my closest friends last year.”
