Empower students in grades K-12 with essential financial literacy skills and an entrepreneurial mindset to promote future financial independence.
Financial literacy is an essential 21st-century skill. Starting financial education at a young age, as part of a continuous journey through elementary, middle, and high school, will help today’s youth avoid the financial mistakes of prior generations.
By building essential 21st-century skills like coding, graphic design, journalism, game development, campers grow into innovative thinkers, strong collaborators, and creative problem solvers.
At VineyardApp, campers put these skills into action by diving into real-world projects that make a meaningful impact. VineyardApp empowers kids and camp communities to realize their potential while learning to tackle real-world challenges—early and confidently.
Camps are full-day and include a snack, lunch, and an optional afternoon free swim.
