Students assembling for Camp Enterprise

At Camp, teambuilding exercises bring students together into learning/working groups. Presentations and exercises are led by Rotarians to develop professional skills, business acumen, and career awareness. Teams of students create and present business projects to a panel of judges, and awards are made based on a variety of criteria.

Two academic and two artistic scholarships are awarded to individual participants who impress the judges with their potential during Camp.

Camp Enterprise builds better teamwork and presentation skills, improves career awareness, lays the groundwork for connection with Rotary businesspeople to help create a personal vision for the future, provides experience that can help improve chances for admission to selective colleges, and launches new friendships.

All teams present their ideas for business projects at Camp. The winning team presents its ideas at the next regular meeting of the Rotary Club of San Francisco.
