We were pleased to offer 2 Camp e3 locations for 2009 - a day camp in Effingham and an overnight camp in Charleston.

The Effingham Camp e3 was sponsored by Midland States Bank and was a two and a half day interactive entrepreneurship camp for high school students.

First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust sponsored the Charleston EIU Camp e3. It was a 3 night - 4 day camp held on the Eastern Illinois University campus. The camps provided the tools to become an entrepreneurial thinker, using the campers own creativity to build a business venture through community enhancement. Campers are divided into teams of four where they create, organize, and pitch a business idea. Successful local entrepreneurs presented on topics such as business concept development, creativity and innovation, marketing and advertising and business budgeting.

We wish to thank the many people who made this opportunity available to all students by sponsoring registration fees for campers. If you would be interested in sponsoring a camper's registration fee for next year's camp or if you have any questions, please call 217-581-2913 or email jezuniga@eiu.edu.
