Community Services Manager,

Municipality of Pembina Community Services

 

This year, eight children participated in the Biz Camp and we had a lot of fun, and also learned along the way! I planned local field trips including Nellie McClung Heritage site, Darlingford School Museum and Manitou Bakery.

We also enjoyed a swim day at the Manitou Community Pool. We also took part in programming at the library which the kids loved! They got to make moon sand, and take part in a play which included seeing a volcano erupt and snow forming right in front of them.

The older kids that have taken part in biz camp previous years worked on social media this year and looking at different ways of promoting our market day. The whole week was in anticipation of the market day when these creative children got to sell their creations.

This group came up with some amazing and creative products to sell this year! Too many products to mention but we want to say a huge thank you to the community that came out and supported us!  We had a large crowd come out to shop and most of the biz kids sold out of their products! 

I am so happy we have this opportunity for youth in our community to learn about business!
