“I really liked how there was skills building such as public speaking, how to present... because I feel like they’re not only skills for today but for our lives.”

It was quite wonderful moment when my daughter was pitching her new learned business skills to judges and having a business card that was created at the kids camp. 
I feel the Bears Lair Dream Camps should be put into the public schools. What a fun way to learn business skills.
