Entrepreneurship X
Changing the world through business
Kick-start your entrepreneurial journey!
Entrepreneurship X is a boot camp for future entrepreneurs and change-makers. God has given us skills to solve problems large and small and to think about things in new and different ways. These entrepreneurial skills are highly sought after and will help you stand out from the crowd in your college applications and future career path.
Whether your talents lie in art, business, music, science or technology, come to Entrepreneurship X boot camp to be inspired to think in new ways, develop new skills and solve problems that matter to you all for God’s glory.
Each action-packed day at Entrepreneurship X boot camp is different. You will learn to think like an entrepreneur and develop new ideas. Feedback from Christian entrepreneurs will help you bring your ideas to life. You will be challenged to go above and beyond what you think is possible. And along the way, we’ve built in a few surprises.
