Area students who will be entering 5th or 6th grade in the fall have an opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship and business during the Jacobson Institute's Youth Entrepreneur Camp, sponsored by Hills Bank & Trust Company.

The Jacobson Institute holds two youth camps each summer, in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. The camp runs daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (transportation and early drop off and late pick up are available for an additional fee).

During the camp, students will:

  • Learn how to make money doing what they love
  • Create business cards
  • Design a business flyer
  • Invent their own ice cream flavor
  • Make new friends
  • Have fun!

How much does the Youth Entrepreneur Camp cost?
Through generous support from Hills Bank & Trust Company, you pay only $175 for a week—lunch, snacks, materials, and T-shirt are included! Iowa City participants may elect to drop their children off early (7:45 a.m.) and pick them up late (until 5:30 p.m.) for an additional fee of $10 per day.
