Today is the 4th day into the Minnesota Business Venture Week 2, 2024! We are close to the end of this amazing camp and getting closer and closer to when our campers present their business proposal that they have worked so hard all week preparing for. Today our theme is Finacial Freedom, and our amazing sponsor of the day is Piper Sandler Companies! Thank you so much for supporting us throughout these years!
Our campers started the day with breakfast and a quick company meeting before listening to the fourth keynote speaker of week, Bryan Polley. Mr. Polley works for the U.S Bank and taught the campers a lot about how to track and budget your money, smart money choices, the difference between wants and needs and ways to avoid consumer debt! Mr. Polley also gave a few lucky campers to win $5 to $10 dollars, it is true… money talks!
After our amazing keynote, campers moved into various philanthropy breakout rooms with speakers from 3M, Allianz Life, Cargill, U.S Bank and Securian! Campers took notes and learned key tips they could add to their business plan.
After campers had lunch and went back into company meeting where they wrote letters to various sponsors who made this business summer camp possible! Then, campers went to another set of breakout rooms about financial literacy before ending the day with one of their last company meetings. Tomorow’s the big day!!!
Fantastic 4th day!
