A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MONEY CAMP

The 2023 schedule provides plenty of learning experiences and activities during the three-day, immersive on-campus experience.

Day 1

Shark Tank competition — Students will be divided into teams to come up with a business idea that will make money and entice the “shark” investors. Each team has two mentors, a WSU faculty member and a CBIZ professional, who will support and guide the campers.

Day 2

Accounting professionals will share their expertise in several interactive presentations — tax investigation & enforcement (IRS), sShort-sellers & financial fraud (WSU) and professional & personal development (Tanner LLC).

Students will also participate in a Mousetrap game (WSU) that highlights the importance of cost benefit analysis and continual improvement.

Day 3

The students will head to the golf course where they will network with accounting professionals who will teach them the basics of the game. In the afternoon, they will learn about different career options (panel discussion) and do a Lego activity focused on communication (Squire & Company).

Day 4

Students will participate in a team building activity and service project (UMB). Students have loved working together to compile pantry packs to donate to those in need.
