Anatomy of a Financial Summer Camp

August 11, 2011

Every Camp Millionaire we hold has the same group of kids in it. We have marveled about this for years.

Children Need More To Do!

March 17, 2011

For years, I have listened to adults who say, “Kids just don’t have anything do to. They need youth-based centers where they can go and do things.” Though I agree it’s great when kids and teens who need it have a safe place to go, I believe one of the main reasons we have so [...]
