Turn a crisis into a career!
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.
Program highlights
- 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.
What campers will learn and experience
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:
- Gain a practical understanding of best business practices, from product prototyping (MVP) to market analysis.
- Experience 1-on-1 coaching and a “Shark Tank-style” presentation to build real-world confidence.
- Discover the science of color psychology, logo design, and crafting a brand’s “Origin Story.”
- Build meaningful relationships with SF faculty and fellow aspiring entrepreneurs.
“I plan on attending again next year. I had a really great time and even met one of my closest friends last year.”
