Welcome to the FELC blog! This is where we will keep our followers informed and updated about what our students are doing in the FELC program. Check back daily for new and exciting information!

The Free Enterprise Leadership Challenge (FELC) is a five-day summer program that teaches rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors about entrepreneurship, principled leadership and why the free enterprise system is truly the "miracle of America!"

Throughout the week, students will engage in fun, interactive YET challenging sessions including:

• create and operate a company to provide ACTUAL services and products and turn a REAL profit
• engage in a variety of team-building activities and group projects to accomplish a goal
• experience exclusive opportunities to hear first-hand advice and ask questions about business and leadership from honored guests and speakers
• strengthen his or her knowledge about free market economics
• recognize the personal morals and characteristics that it takes to become a principled and philanthropic leader
