CEO summer camp: No bugs!

For one group of kids this summer, camp won't involve bug spray, roasting marshmallows on the fire or playing pool games.

At the CEO Academy at Florida Gulf Coast University organized and underwritten by Junior Achievement, entrepreneurial teens will learn the basics of how to start and operate a successful business.

With the guidance of entrepreneurs and professors from the Lutgert College of Business, these teens will learn to develop a comprehensive business plan over a week in June. At the conclusion of the camp, there will be a competition to determine the best business plan and each student on the winning team will receive a $1,000 college scholarship.

The judges of the competition will be entrepreneurs and business executives who have been named to the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame. Junior Achievement is a nonprofit organization that helps educate children about economics and entrepreneurship.

The deadline to apply is May 1 and is open to any high school junior or senior from Charlotte, Collier or Lee counties.
