Youth Programs and Camps
Roosevelt University offers several youth programs and camps designed to provide young adults with opportunities to enhance talent, intellectual development and personal enjoyment. Summer programs over a range of interest such as Business, Music or Science.
Roosevelt University, Walter E. Heller College of Business is offering an opportunity to incoming high school juniors and seniors who demonstrate an aptitude in the areas of math, science and technology along with an interest in entrepreneurship.
Selected students will attend the five-day, green-technology focused Entrepreneurship Academy at Roosevelt University Chicago campus. The Walter E. Heller College of Business faculty and staff will lead the Academy with critical assistance from Purdue University, industry leaders and successful green-tech business entrepreneurs. Students work in teams on a fundamental business case to determine the best way for a business to compete, identify capital needs to start a business and devise a plan for managing a business successfully.
Participants are provided with business cases, two days of instruction and necessary materials to assist them in the successful completion of the program. On the final day, teams give a 15-minute “investor pitch” to a panel of judges in a business plan competition setting. Tuition vouchers to Roosevelt University are awarded to the top three teams whose presentations are judged as having the most solid business strategy and potential for success.
To accommodate additional students WEHCBA will host two camps in 2011:
Session One: July 10 - 15, 2011- Chicago
Session Two: July 25 - 29, 2011 - Schaumburg

Applicants must be entering seventh through ninth grade during the 2011-2012 academic year.
A summer day camp for children ages 7-14 who have experienced the death of a parent. The camp was created to help children discover the healing power of creative play, to find others who have experienced a similar loss, to have access to qualified counselors and listen to the stories of successful adults who lost a parent as a child.
Through their experiences, the children will come to see that they too have important stories to share. While their stores have many chapters yet to be written, it is the goal of Hands Together, Heart to Art to make sure all of them ultimately have very happy endings!
This camp will be held in Chicago at Roosevelt University, Auditorium Theater
Session One: July 5-15| Ages 7-11
Session Two: July 18-29| Ages 10-14
