JA Summer Camp
A variation on our standard simulations, the JA Summer Camp Model will integrate our curriculum into the simulations and activities over the course of a multi-day experience. Utilizing many of the key concepts and experiences from our JA BizTown and JA Finance Park simulations, the summer camp model will expose students to our key curriculum while also maintaining the fun and authenticity of our core programs. We are looking to you, our JA Volunteers, to help provide the relevancy and connections to the real world that is so needed to help bring our simulations to life!

Monday (11am-3pm) - Volunteers participate in discussion and activities with students around exploration of interests and skills that can be highlighted on a resume or in a job interview process.
