At Camp, teambuilding exercises bring students together into learning/working groups.

Two academic and two artistic scholarships are awarded to individual participants who impress the judges with their potential during Camp. 

Camp Enterprise builds better teamwork and presentation skills, improves career awareness, lays the groundwork for connection with Rotary businesspeople to help create a personal vision for the future, provides experience that can help improve chances for admission to selective colleges, and launches new friendships.
