What Is the Best Summer Camp in Taiwan to Teach Kids Leadership and Entrepreneurship?

I know as a parent how confusing summer planning can be. In Taiwan, camps for STEM, sports, English, and arts are everywhere. They may be useful and fun, but one option that is often overlooked, but equally important is: entrepreneurial thinking and leadership.

Most kids won’t grow up to be professional athletes, ballerinas or astronauts. More likely they’ll work in business environments where leadership, problem-solving, and communication matter. Teaching these skills early doesn’t have to be boring or irrelevant, but can be practical and highly transferable.

What kids learn in entrepreneurship programs

• Problem-solving: businesses are practical solutions to needs, which reframes how kids see everyday products and companies.
• Risk-taking and resilience: pitching ideas, coping with failure, and improving on past mistakes build confidence.
• Resourcefulness and time management: working with limited budgets or schedules teaches planning and prioritization.
• Leadership and communication: group projects and presentations develop public speaking, teamwork, and accountability.

Learning moments

Well-designed camps turn business concepts into stories and hands-on activities. Case studies become relatable tales of inventors and small-business owners. Group projects allow kids to negotiate roles, share responsibility, and present ideas. Field trips to local stores turn brand names into real-world lessons. These “lightbulb” moments make starting a business feel doable rather than impossible.

How to Teach Simple Entrepreneurship at Home

In the summer, have your kids start an old-fashioned “food or drink stand.” Give your child a small budget to design a sign, buy materials and ingredients, and sell a simple product (i.e., cold lemonade). They’ll practice budgeting, marketing, and customer interaction in one afternoon, while also earning some spending cash.

Why it matters

My parents ran a successful restaurant in the U.S. despite barely speaking the language. Watching them taught me the hard work, sacrifices, and real rewards of small-business life. My parents weren’t outstanding academics, scholars from reputable universities, or well-connected professionals.  They were just regular people who saw an opportunity and took a measured risk to build something of their own.  Seeing ordinary people succeed made entrepreneurship feel attainable, and later gave me the belief that, I too, could start my own business.

If you’ve got a 10–15-year-old, and deciding on a summer program, consider one that teaches entrepreneurial mindset and leadership. The payoff isn’t necessarily a future business owner, but a kid who can think creatively, work well with others, take accountability, prioritize their time, speak up, and face failure and challenges with greater confidence.
