Camp e3 is an interactive entrepreneurship camp for students ages 14-18 designed by Eastern Illinois University. Campers are divided into teams of four where they create, organize, and pitch a business idea. Successful regional entrepreneurs will present on topics throughout the camp such as concept development, creativity and innovation, marketing and advertising, budgeting and operations. At the conclusion of the camp, students will present their business plan to entrepreneurs serving as judges to compete for a cash prize.
