What we do at my mind your own business summer camp is fun. We play games, we do math, we do plays, and we do writing prompts. We go on field trips. Our first field trip we went on was to go to the movies to see CARS 2. Tommorow we are going to PINACLE MOUNTAIN! Our last field trip we are going to WILD RIVER COUNTRY!

I am having so much fun at this summer camp. There is no other summer camp like this one. We have to classes a morning class and a afternoon class. Our morning class teachers are Mr.Cooper and  Ms.Bre’. Our afternoon teachers are Ms.Stacie and Ms.Ree and Mr.Dominic. They are all nice teachers.

In our morning class we are learning input output. In our afternoon class we are making notebooks. We are going to sell them at the River Market on July the 12^th. The plain ones are $3.00, and the fancy ones are $4.00. We are hoping to get a profit of $430.00. Thank you for reading this dear reader.

Welcome to Summer Camp

Follow along as you read tales from the fourth grade students at UALR Children International Mind Your Own Business Summer Camp.

Seventeen students will share their experiences and stories about participating in a math and literacy summer camp geared toward teaching children about creating and implementing a business plan.

Over the course of four weeks, students (K-5) will handcraft products to sell as part of their business. Each grade will produce a different product. This year's products include: duct tape wallets and clutches, recycled magazine picture frames, recycled magazine beaded necklaces and keychains, hodge podge drink coasters, and other items made from recycled materials.

Each day, two students will post stories related to summer camp and their experiences. Follow along with them as they venture into the world of writing, blogging and photography.
