Testimonials! "This Camp Millionaire is an amazing tool that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. I learned so much while having lots of fun. The stories and life experiences made me understand how important it is to learn about money and how to handle money. The games helped also and whole thing was a grand experience. Thank you." - Samantha, age 15 May 09
"Money Camp was a great experience! It taught me many valuable things and lessons that really
will last a lifetime.
It was cool and I had
a lot of fun." -Sarah, age 12
"The most valuable
thing I learned at
Camp Millionaire is that becoming financially independent is your choice, it's not
a dream." -Julie, age 14
"For myself, being 18, I wasn't quite sure what to do with money other than spend it. Camp Millionaire has really impacted my life, in teaching me how to diversify my money and learning how to make money work for me." -Grant, age 18
"If you have not already detected my enthusiasm about what you are doing, let me reiterate that you have a wonderful concept and program. For so many parents, they view the time when their teenager gets her/his driver's license as a rite of passage into her/his independence. Truly, as important as driver's education is to their child's independence, so is proper money management. I think Camp Millionaire is a must. "
-Phoebe, parent
Just imagine how your life would be different if you'd learned about money earlier.
If playing the most powerful financial literacy game on the planet guaranteed your child the BEST chance at financially success as an adult, wouldn't you want him/her to go?
Do you want your kids to get excited about managing their money?
Do you want your kids to understand the value of a buck?
Do you want your kids to grow up and live the lives they dream of?
If you answered, Yes, please send them to Camp Millionaire.

All of our programs teach financial education using The Money Game™!
Our programs are unique and highly effective for many reasons:
We use accelerated teaching techniques and break complicated financial concepts and ideas down into understandable chunks of information by using a variety of games (including The Money Game), role-playing, activities, and many fun processes. Your child will walk out of our program truly feeling like they can be a millionaire one day.
We empower kids with the belief that they are fully in charge of creating their own lives, and that includes how much money they want to have when they grow up.
We teach kids powerful life-design concepts and philosophies that will transfer into all areas of their lives.
We teach basic, time-honored personal money management skills and wealth creation principles but we do it with a twist...we make it fun!
We bring you, the parent or guardian, in on the whole process by inviting kids to ask you certain questions every night after camp. This helps open up the line of communication in regard to money for the whole family. Parents tell us every year they have the most amazing conversations about money over dinner at night.
Kids learn that by having more money coming in that they have going out, they can do a whole lot of good in the world with the extra.
And so much more we can't begin to tell you!
I just wanted to say "Hello." I was remembering last summer and how much fun the boys had at camp. Thank you, again! The valuable knowledge they learned about money is something I see them using almost everyday. I am so relieved they won't fall into the same traps I did. I also love how attending your camp has opened up our communication with them about money. I'm anxious to see how they will continue to use their money knowledge as they grow. I know they will both be very successful! With Gratitude!

game we call the Money Cow Game. Too funny.
What will my kids learn?
At the very least, your child will leave Camp Millionaire with a heightened awareness of the financial world around him. Most of them leave with much more:
How to make their money (jobs and businesses);
How to manage their money (budgets);
How to multiply their money (investing in business, the stock market, business and more);
How to think like, and develop the habits of, a wealthy person;
How to develop passive income streams by investing in assets;
How money can be used to give back and help their communities.
The Money Game set up and ready for them to play and learn the most basic, yet critical, components of personal finance.
Camp Millionaire is based on simple money management and wealth creation principles:
Life is an adventure, let passion be your guide.
You are the CEO of your own life.
Pay yourself first.
Save early, save often, Invest Wisely
Put your money to work for you.
It’s not how much money you make that’s important, it’s how much you keep.
Interest is only interesting when YOU are receiving it.
Only borrow money when it's going to make you money.
And many more.

Notes about the Camp Millionaire Summer Camp Schedule:
Camps typically run from 9:00-3:30 or 4:00 pm each day.
We take several play breaks and a lunch break.
Monday through Thursday we are in camp, Friday we take a field trip (optional).
Camp is broken up into activities, games, speakers, and projects.
Will my kids have a good time?
Camp Millionaire uses an innovative day camp format to provide kids with the financial tools they need to choose and create financial freedom for themselves and their families. We use multisensorial (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) teaching techniques to keep your kids engaged throughout the entire camp:
Making it relevant: Your kids don’t care about checkbooks and credit cards yet because they don’t have to use them. We show them why it’s important to care now so they don’t pay later.
Experience before content: Nearly every major concept is tied to a game, activity or process, which means your child gets to learn about the concept without even knowing it.
Repetition and review: A wise man once said repetition is the mother of skill. Your kids will be exposed to the most important information multiple times in a variety of different avenues so the information really sticks.
Where Creative Wealth is headed...
Our very first Money Camp for Kids (now Camp Millionaire) was held in 2002 in a tiny room at the Boys and Girls Club with 39 kids. Since then, we have taught over 2,000 kids, teens, and adults how to choose financial freedom and develop the beliefs and habits to do it.
From our humble beginnings, our program and mission has spread across the United States and is even going international!
Our goal is to have our financial literacy programs all over the world by 2010 and we're going to do it by licensing our program to others who want to build financial literacy camp businesses everywhere!
