🍋 The Lemonade Lab: 2-Day CEO Experience
What if your child didn’t just learn about business… but actually ran one?
In this hands-on, high-energy experience, students will step into the role of CEO - designing, building, and launching their own lemonade business from the ground up.
Inspired by The Lemonade War, this two-day lab blends literacy, math, creativity, and real-world application in a way that feels more like an experience than a lesson.
✨ How It Works
📚 The CEO Kick-off (At Home)
Before the lab begins, every student will receive their official CEO Launch Kit to jumpstart the journey:
Personal copy of The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies: Read the story that started it all (included in your registration!)
CEO Startup Packet: An engaging pre-lab guide to help you start thinking about:
Cost & profit basics
Pricing strategies
Marketing & branding concepts
👉 This ensures every student arrives ready to think like an entrepreneur.
🟡 Day 1: Innovation Lab (Create & Design): Monday, August 10, 4-6pm @Faith Chapel
Students will collaborate in teams to build their business from the ground up.
🍋 Taste test and experiment with lemonade recipes
💡 Choose their product and “wow factor” (flavors, garnishes, presentation)

By the end of the session, each team will have a fully developed business plan and product ready for launch.
