2026 Heads-Up Summer Camp Youth Entrepreneur Program Registration

The Heads Up Summer Camp Youth Entrepreneur Program targets youth ages 12-17. The primary objective of the program is to get youth to begin to think about future careers. It is offered at the end of June and consists of one 2-week session, providing the youth with activities and training to stimulate their awareness of careers, employment possibilities, and entrepreneurship.

The program offers the youth a chance to learn many life-skills and business skills as well as career exploration, including taking part in a final “Business Showcase”. During the final week, these skills are put into action as the participants business ideas will be presented. How well the students’ projects succeed will depend on how well they apply the life-skills and business skills they learn during the first week of the program. Their business ideas will be recognized through different categorical awards, with the final reward being a Shop Kahnawake gift certificate!

The program provides many fun activities, including day trips that will allow the youth to have fun. There will be visits from local entrepreneurs to get an idea of the different business journeys and possible careers in and around the community.

For additional information or to answer any questions please contact Jordyn McComber, Heads Up Program Facilitator, at (450) 638-4280 or by e-mail at jordyn.mccomber@kedc.biz
