2006 Highlights

The 2006 Men of Standard camp impacted the lives of 9 boys and 7 camp counselors. The camp was created to show the boys their future opportunities in business and provide them with life skills they can use to shape themselves and their communities. The boys were also introduced to various economic, marketing, and management skills.

2006 Results:

by a Q&A session. – We had 5 guest speakers.– Partnered with Wegmans, Xerox, and Summit FCU– Campers started their own T-shirt business with a focus on

anti-piracy. – Products created were t-shirts and commercials that were

later displayed at their school. – Curriculum was expanded to include topics such as

problem solving, responsibility, creative thinking.
