Get ready for a full day of personal finance fun! This daylong camp is designed to get you up, moving, collaborating, and trying out activities just like your students will.
We’ll explore classroom-ready resources connected to the Economics and Personal Finance Standards (EPF.1–EPF.18) and the personal finance concepts found within the Civics and Economics Standards (CE.11–CE.14), along with ideas that can be easily embedded into other courses.
Throughout the day, we’ll dive into topics like credit, saving, investing, taxes, budgeting, behavioral finance, financial decision-making, and more—plus mix in a few fun holiday-themed lessons!
You’ll leave with ready-to-use lesson plans, materials, and fresh ideas to make personal finance practical, engaging, and fun for your students. And of course, since we’ll be learning all day, lunch is on us!
