Overview
Investments & Personal Finance will introduce your son to the skills he needs to grow his hard-earned money into business opportunities, charitable giving, or whatever interesting project he can dream up! Campers will develop the critical life skills of prudent saving, spending, and investing — all under the guidance of two Northridge High School graduates and business owners.
Why Investments & Personal Finance?
