Our programs include chess programs and camps thru USA Chess, Our Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Programs and our Active Learning Computer Enrichment Programs.

Our staff is, comprised of the best children's chess instructors in North America! The USA Chess camps are uniquely qualified to cater to the needs of the advanced scholastic player as well as the true beginner. USA Chess hit its first milestone in the summer of 2000 producing the largest chess camp ever held in the United States, with more than 250 students enrolled. What was most surprising, however, was the amount of absolute beginners in attendance - more than 50% of the total enrollment was just starting to play chess. This realization led to the national rollout tour of 100 camps in more than 70 cities. The annual tours have been immensely successful with several thousand campers attending this year alone.

USA Chess thrives on providing a structured environment that is extremely conducive to learning chess. We handpick the best children's chess instructors from all over the United States and bring them to each camp. We believe our team is most effective in teaching chess to children of all ages and levels. The exceptional organization and ever-fun curriculum has fueled much interest from scholastic players and coaches from around the country, prompting them to request USA Chess camps in their areas.

At the same summer camp locations, we also offer the immensely popular Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Camps, The Active Learning Computer Animation Programs, and other Computer Enrichment Programs such as Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft. We now offer seven unique programs in all.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: CodeStream Studios is a hands on computer-coding program that focuses on teaching students in elementary, middle and high school to code. Our program can be delivered in the classroom, virtually or at stand-alone camps.

Our comprehensive curriculum is built around Texas Education Agency requirements that exposes grade school students to the fundamentals of computer hardware and software. CSS students learn approximately six computer languages over a three year period, teaching them to create web pages, develop computer apps utilizing static data in specific languages and ultimately, how to create data analytic solutions to industry defined problems. The CodeStream Studios program is available to all students, we think that the consistency of a daily in-classroom instructor focusing on practicing and utilizing various computer languages, will build confidence and marketable skill sets in our students.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Kids have a natural interest in money and business. At Moolah U, we feed that curiosity by giving them hands-on experience in creating their own business. In camp they experience how money works and how to use their money wisely. Plus they get to keep all the money they make! During this intensive camp experience, your kid (ages 7 to 16) will start a business, make real money, and learn about using money wisely. Watch your kid develop professional skills in leadership and personal accountability in just a few days.

Our Mission is to provide young people with a fundamental understanding of how money works, inspiring them to establish habits that build a life of financial stability and independence. Through programs at Moolah U, kids develop skills in leadership, teamwork, and integrity, knowing themselves as responsible people who can accomplish whatever they choose.

Started in 2007 as The Money Academy, the Austin, Texas-based franchise Moolah U offers young people a fundamental understanding of how money works, inspiring them to establish habits that build a life of financial stability and independence.

Founder and CEO Gayle Reaume is a graduate of the Texas State ACTiVATE program for women CEOs and a founding member of the United Way Capital Area Leadership Council for Financial Stability. With 30 years of experience in small business management and coaching, Reaume started educational programs after noticing that children are often not equipped to manage their money powerfully while they are still at home, or when they are on their own. Students who attend a Moolah U camp, after-school club, or class curriculum get real-life, real-money experiences that allow them to prepare for a stable, successful financial future.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Please contact us at info[AT]moolahu.com if you are interested in our financial aid options.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The Apprentice Program provides year-round leadership and personal financial management training. Through participating as an Apprentice, tweens and teens deepen and broaden their understanding of leadership and financial concepts, while getting new experience and training in being part of a Leadership Team.

The Apprentice Program is a career development program for teens where they gain experience in leadership, working collaboratively with others, and being responsible and making a real contribution to the training and development of others. We have developed the Program as a real training and development program—where our Apprentices move along a defined pathway of increasing levels of accountability and responsibility. They are involved throughout the process in measuring and evaluating their advancement from Apprentice to Senior Apprentice to Coach.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Imagine starting and running a real kid business--making MONEY and keeping the profits—all in one amazing week!

Go from Idea to Market Research, to PROFITABILITY.

Kids explore how money really works and develop skills in leadership, teamwork and accountability while having TONS of fun.

Here's what we'll be exploring:

· How does a business work?

· What makes a great business idea?

· Where does the money come from?

· How can I make my money grow?

Campers develop a business idea, including a marketing plan, analyzing expenses and potential profit, delivering a good or service, determining how to invest the profits.

The business partners then pitch their idea to our Barracudas to get a loan for their supplies (Moolah U’s version of Shark Tank) and then produce and sell their product for the week.

All this, couched in an environment of play/exploration and a variety of self-directed activities.

Kids leave our program saying it was one of the best experiences that they have had and they return each year to learn more. Moolah U gives them tools to create a life of financial independence and responsibility, the life skills that we know make a difference for the next generation.

Teen graduates of Moolah U are eligible to enter the Apprentice Training Program where they deepen their experience of leadership and financial skills. The Apprentice Program is a year round program that includes working with local business mentors, special workshops on life skills including time management, communication, and project based learning. Apprentices participate at camps on the leadership team and when 15 may enter the Apprentice Coach Internship Program.
