Course Descriptions
Fundamentals of Leadership & Entrepreneurship
Our Fundamentals of Leadership & Entrepreneurship (FLE) course is a two-week immersion into the nuts and bolts of the business world by challenging the students to create a viable business. Kampers will be taught the fundamentals of leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting, operations, and organizational behavior, while coming to understand the integrated role these functions play in every successful endeavor. Leadership will be taught from the perspective of servant leadership. Additionally, they will be separated into teams and will generate their own business ideas. The Kampers will submit these ideas in the form of business plans and prototypes. The team with the best plan will receive a monetary prize.
The Principles of STEM
The Principles of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) course is designed to introduce Kampers to STEM related studies and learning experiences in order to inspire their interest in STEM fields. In keeping with the Kamp’s focus on moving the Kampers from theory to application, each of the Kamper’s group projects from FME will include a STEM component.
Leadership in Team Sports (Football, Golf, Basketball & Soccer)
Kampers will be taught leadership traits and values through participating in team sports (basketball and soccer). Particular emphasis will be placed on sportsmanship and ethical adherence to the rules of the games. Additionally, Kampers will also be taught the fundamentals of each sport.
Principles of Communication
One’s ability to effectively write and speak will play a significant role in their quality of life. This course touches upon the basics of public speaking and writing. Among the skills which will be covered are proper sentence structure, rules of grammar, punctuation and persuasive speaking.
Financial Literacy
Making effective financial decisions and knowing how to manage money are skills critical to enjoying a secure financial future. This course takes a practical approach to providing Kampers with the skills needed to address the financial issues faced by them. The content is specifically tailored to young, minority males.
