The Camp InC. mISSIOnWe provide 6th - 12th grade campers with a unique Jewish summer camp experience
that introduces and develops creativity and invention through entrepreneurship.
We will teach our campers how to turn their ideas into reality and leave them with
a tool box of skills that promotes community, confidence, independence, leadership,
giving, and Jewish identity so they can become innovators in business, philanthropy,
and the Jewish community.
Learn How to Start a BusinessCamp Inc. is where leaders are born and teams are built. Campers learn how to turn
ideas into reality by working together to launch a product or service from scratch.
After forming their own startup teams, campers explore business
fundamentals including idea development, branding, financial
management, marketing, sales, and ultimately pitching their
company to a panel of investors “Shark Tank” style.
Experience our Jewish overnight camp communityCampers bond with friends through boating
and swimming, rock climbing, playing sports,
exploring our gorgeous Colorado mountain
property, and much more. They live in cabins,
eat meals together, and build Jewish identity
through song, Israel, and Shabbat.
