Book Description	What if there was an opportunity to teach the youth in our society the fundamental concepts of growing and developing into amazing entrepreneurs? Or how about educating the next generation on what it really takes to run the companies and grow into the decision-makers and game-changers?"More Than a Lemonade Stand: The Complete Guide for Planning, Implementing & Running a Successful Youth Entrepreneur Camp" offers you the exciting resources and tools to build a curriculum to plan and run an educationally oriented youth entrepreneurial camp and the flexibility to pull activities out to incorporate them into your existing program. More than ever, entrepreneurs run the world. They own the largest companies, have the greatest financial freedom, and are at the epicenter of our business world. And we often hear the stories that each of these extremely successful men and women started at a young age with sound business practices and salesmanship. Maybe it was a lemonade stand, a baseball card collection, or even a newspaper route. Regardless of the business, they were hustling and learning fundamental practices very early in life. "More Than a Lemonade Stand" offers you the inside curriculum to build a camp geared towards offering youth something they haven't quite seen before. Brainstorming, conceptualizing, and building a business from scratch is an opportunity rarely available for our young men and women. But through creating and planning these camp sessions, our children are offered an out-of-the-box camp experience that separates them from everyone else. Learning these tools and analytical thinking early in life can open amazing doors later on. Whether you want to create a whole camp experience or just incorporate entrepreneurial activities in your existing program; "More Than a Lemonade Stand" will take you on the ins and outs of how to build this exciting opportunity and welcome in the future of business leaders-one program at a time.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Think back to when you were a child. Remember the time when you decided to raise a little extra spending money by opening up your own lemonade stand? Maybe your mom or dad helped raise funds for you by loaning you the grocery store money to buy the lemons, sugar, and cups. Or maybe you just syphoned off the cartons of lemonade your parents brought home from the store. Regardless of how you made it happen, this was probably the beginning of your entrepreneurial career. A lemonade stand could be anything. It could be selling baseball cards, video games, mowing the neighbor’s lawn, babysitting, or, as you grow, beginning a new business or company. But the important thing to note is that a lemonade stand is grounded in the desire to build youth entrepreneurship at a young age to better prepare our children for exciting opportunities in life. The sooner we educate and train the new generation in fundamental business practices, the better positioned they will be to succeed in the hyper-competitive business world. Just as technology is used as a tool to accomplish more in less time, youth entrepreneurship can be used as the tool to develop youth in less time. This book focuses on a proven youth entrepreneurship curriculum to help kids utilize their unique talents and skills to start a business, creating by-products of increased confidence and self-esteem. Through the experiential learning activities included in the curriculum, they will learn basic business terms, learn how a business runs, develop their own business idea and participate in a large team lemonade stand competition to raise funds for a scholarship fund. These activities are so fun and engaging that kids don’t even realize that they are learning until they attend the awards ceremony and see the results they’ve achieved. More Than a Lemonade Stand is a complete step-by-step guide to planning, implementing and running a successful youth entrepreneur camp. This book provides a thorough explanation of the activities that I complete each year for the youth entrepreneur camp that I direct at the University of Wisconsin---Madison Small Business Development Center.
