Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Business Boot Camp

This half-day camp at Camp Mirage's Mt. Juliet location gives kids ages 7–14 a hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship and basic business concepts. The standout element — and what makes this one genuinely interesting to kids — is that campers actually earn real money during the program, which turns abstract ideas like sales, profit, and value into something concrete and motivating. Sessions run mornings from 9 to noon, with three separate weeks available between June and late July, giving families flexibility to work it into a full summer lineup. At $185 per session, it lands on the affordable side for a specialty half-day camp, and the location on Wildcat Way in Lebanon puts it solidly in the Mt. Juliet corridor east of Nashville. This one appeals most to kids who light up at the idea of running their own business or who are always thinking about how things work from a money-and-strategy angle. Families also explore Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Youtuber Camp and Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Lego Masters Camp for similarly entrepreneurial and creative options at the same site.
