YMCA Cedar Glen, Nobleton, ON

The Rotary Club of Newmarket and twelve other Rotary Clubs will be hosting our 43rd annual youth entrepreneurship camp, Camp Enterprise from May 2 – 5, 2019.

Rotary is looking for students interested in business and entrepreneurship, preferably in grade 11 or 12. This 3 ½ day event challenges students to apply the principles of business development, labour relations, team management and funding a business in a camp setting and provides students the opportunity to interact with business leaders through a series of activities and discussions.

Cost: Paid for by the Rotary Club of Newmarket. (Selected students are asked to submit a deposit of $100 by cheque payable to the Rotary Club of Newmarket which will be returned when they check-in at camp. )

Transportation: Provided by Rotarians unless parents choose to drop-off and pick-up their own child.

Please visit campenterprise.ca to see a video of the previous camp, the previous year’s program, extra application forms, and other information. Our website is being updated so if there are additional questions please feel free to contact me directly.

Enrollment is limited so we are requesting that you assist us in finding the next generation of business leaders. We ask that you have applications ready for a Rotarian to pick up no later than Friday March 8, 2019.

Applications will be reviewed by the Rotary committee who will select the students.

We encourage students to submit a resume or personal statement along with the application.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (insert telephone #)
