    They walk away able to turn a problem into a solution, use feedback to make it better, sell a product to real customers, and pitch out loud with confidence.

    The Das GreenHaus interns with a camper holding up her award

    Last summer the Das GreenHaus interns designed and ran a two-day Kids Entrepreneurship Camp. Local elementary students started businesses and pitched them to a panel of Sharks. This camp gives that model six weeks and a real market at the end.

    All three are Boerne ISD Incubator Program alumni who built real ventures as juniors. The camp is run through Das GreenHaus, a Boerne nonprofit, with its mentor network behind it. Group size is capped at 9 so every student gets real attention.

    Quick questions.

    Does my student need a business idea already?

    No. Session 1 starts where every founder starts: spotting problems. They leave that day with a list of problems worth solving.

    What if we can't afford tuition?

    Apply anyway and check the sponsored seat box. Local sponsors cover seats for families where the fee would be a hardship. No explanation needed.

    How do we pay?

    Once your student's seat is confirmed, we email one invoice for the full program. Pay by credit card or check. Nothing is due before that email.

    What happens at Market Day?

    Students set up their own booth, sell the products they built, and deliver a final pitch. Friends and family are welcome to come shop.

    What if we have to miss a session?

    Sessions build on each other, so we'll help your student catch up at the next one. Tuition covers the full program and isn't prorated or refunded for missed sessions.
