what

Join the Lemonade Day team for a hands-on family-friendly entrepreneurial workshop. In this lesson, kids will be taught how to set goals, develop a business plan and budget, and create a brand and marketing plan. They will learn about safe site location, health sanitation, and customer service to maximize profit. Kids will pitch their plan to have a chance to win free supplies and materials to help put their plan in action to achieve their dreams. Trained instructors will coach youth on how to spend some of their hard-earned money on themselves; save some and invest in their futures by opening a bank account and share some with a charity of their choice. Graduates of Lemonade Day University (LemonU) will leave the workshop armed and ready to launch their business and have a public selling experience – on a day(s) of their family’s choosing.

Lemonade stands teach kids more in one sunny afternoon than any textbook, video, or app ever could. Whether they’re saving for Taylor Swift tickets, raising money for charity, or gearing up to avoid future student loans, a lemonade stand is the perfect launchpad. But, tossing them at a folding table with a pitcher of lemonade won’t teach them much more than resilience. Imagine how much more they’d learn with a little preparation. LemonU isn’t just about making lemonade—it’s about making your
child’s first business a true success. This one-day training camp equips kids with the skills, confidence, and know-how to turn their stand into something bigger: a thriving mini-business that builds their creativity, independence, and financial smarts.

Why Attend?
– Real Money, Real Pros: Kids are learning how to make money from professional entrepreneurs
– Learn by Doing: Kids get the real-world skills to run a business—budgeting, branding, customer service, and more.
– Get Free Stuff: Backpack, My Lemonade Day App free curriculum access, and a parent guidebook to keep the learning going at home.
– Launch Ready: Your child will leave with confidence, a plan, and even a chance to win all the supplies they need to start their stand!

This event will be tailored for 7-13 year-olds and their families for a fun ENTREPRENEURSHIP experience! We look forward to building and learning with you!
