Free Enterprise/Business Summer Camp

Free Enterprise Leadership Challenge is in Texas!

For the second summer, the Free Enterprise Leadership Challenge (FELC) will be conducted in Texas this summer.  In 2011, the program hosted a successful event on the campus of Houston Baptist University.  Due to popular demand, the program will again be held in Texas this summer on the campus of Northwood University in Cedar Hill, Texas, just 20 miles from the heart of Dallas.  During this five-day residential summer camp, high school-age participants will learn about entrepreneurship, the important role capitalism plays in our economy, principled leadership and ethical decision making (additional program details below).

FELC Session II
at Northwood University
June 24-28, 2012

Cost $100 (includes meals, housing and all activities)
Apply at www.felcexperience.org

What do students do?
A company competition is the core activity.  In small groups, students compete to form companies which produce, market and sell products.  Students learn about and create business plans, marketing plans and accounting records.  FELC is an interactive, fast-paced approach to learning, so it doesn’t stop with the company competition.  Students also participate in a Virtual Trade Mission project, speech and debate contests, the Laws of Life Essay Contest and receive hands-on principled leadership training.  FELC is unique because it offers students the opportunity to learn by doing.  Students who will be high school sophomores, juniors or seniors in fall 2012 and have demonstrated leadership potential and an interest in learning more about business are encouraged to apply.  The only cost for this program is a $100 registration fee (due after acceptance).
