BizKids Camp 2011

Thank you!

Thank you to all our BizKids, parents, sponsors and the community for a successful BizKids Camp 2011. 27 BizKids took part in our two camps.

Every year the BizKids impress us with their intelligence, ambition, creativity and imagination. This year was no different with businesses like: flower bookmarks, homemade dog treats, on-the-spot freshly squeezed lemonade and bumble bee screen stickers.

Looking forward to BizKids 2012!
