Youth Entrepreneurship CampsApplications Available! Grades 4-6 Jacobson Entrepreneurship Academy Grades 7-9 Elementary and middle school students have the opportunity to participate in entrepreneurship camps held each summer in Iowa. With support from Hills Bank & Trust Company of Hills, IA, and the Richard O. Jacobson Foundation of Des Moines, camp participants hear entrepreneurial start-up stories from successful entrepreneurs and learn the nuts and bolts of starting a business from UI entrepreneurship faculty and staff. In addition to networking with other young Iowans interested in starting businesses, camp participants spend the week developing business plans and designing marketing materials. Each day, students apply what they learn to their businesses. At the end of the week, participants in the elementary camp present their business plans to their peers while participants in the middle school camp present to a panel of judges in hopes of earning seed capital to get their businesses started.
