For First-Time Campers:

If you are attending the camp for the first time, your child will learn how to write a business plan and run a vendor booth at the Murphy Maize Days Festival. See details here. For this first experience, your child will work with a team of peers and mentors to write a business plan and implement their plan together as volunteers at the chamber's main Sand Art Booth where they will sell a craft experience and kits to the community using concepts learned from the camp. In order to prepare for the booth, we ask that every child attend a booth preparation event Friday, September 12th, from 6pm-8pm at the Murphy Activity Center and volunteer at the final event, Murphy Maize Days, which takes place October 4th.

For Advanced Campers:

If your child has attended the camp previously and would like to participate by selling their own product, they will be placed with the advanced group. Our business leaders will help them create a business plan and walk them through the planning and selling process at the Murphy Maize Days event for thier own product.

Event Attendance: Each child's business idea will be implemented at the Murphy Maize Days Community Event. Because we seek sponsorship to fund each booth, we ask that each child commit to attend the Murphy Maize Days Event, which takes place October 4th. In order to prepare for the booth, we ask that every child attend a booth preparation event September 12th, from 6pm-8pm at the Murphy Community Center.
Booth & Product Funding: Please note that this program currently does NOT receive consistent private funding yet. We seek out funding to cover only the booth costs. The majority of all product costs in which a child is selling must be covered by the child and parents unless they are able to find funding outside of the program. Each child is paired with a partner who works to create a budget during the camp and shares the cost unless the child requests to plan and execute their booth idea without a partner.
Parental Supervision: Each child will be expected to commit to a 4-5 hour period of selling their product October 4th. Please set aside the entire day for set-up and take down preparation. One parent is expected to be present at each booth supervising that booth for the entire period. While parents can take shifts, parents are not permitted to supervise multiple booths at one time. One parent must be assigned to a single booth for safety reasons.
Camp Preparation: If available, we ask that your child bring a laptop or ipad to the event in order to help them perform business research and save information as needed. It is recommended, but not required that the child bring ideas for products they'd like to sell.

For all Parents of Campers:

Certificates: Each child will receive a certificate at the end of the camp. Parents are welcome to attend ceremony and take pictures at 4pm.
