Pre-College Summer Programs
Camp CEO brings Girl Scouts from across the state to Quinnipiac University for a five-day overnight experience. As you work alongside inspiring business professors, you'll explore how modern companies instill values in their work as part of Green Beyond Money: Creating Sustainable Businesses. Camp CEO is open to any Girl Scouts in grades 9–12.
At Camp CEO, you'll spend five days building real-world skills as you tackle team challenges, design your own business solution and prepare to pitch it to business leaders. Working hand-in-hand with dedicated Quinnipiac faculty and other Girl Scouts from troops across the state, you will gain the confidence and skills you need to succeed now and in the future.
Camp CEO culminates with an interactive panel, where a group of powerhouse CEOs listen to your big ideas, offer constructive feedback, and demonstrate how to lead sustainable, values-based businesses to achieve their goals.
