Centonomy Teens Boot Camp
Give your teen a head start in life. Teens Boot Camp gives young people the foundation to navigate the real world, helping them make sense of money, spot opportunities and make smarter choices about their future. They develop the mindset, tools and skills to manage money, think entrepreneurially and confidently shape their future.
For parents
You won't always be in the room when they make their first money decisions.
- Pocket money disappears the moment it lands.
- I worry they'll fall for the first get-rich-quick scheme they see online.
- School is teaching them so much, but not this.
- I wish someone had taught me this at their age.
The money habits they form now will follow them for life. Teens Boot Camp gives them the money sense you wish you'd had at their age, in five mornings with other teens, in a way that sticks, so they step into adulthood confident instead of figuring it out too late.
Overview
Is Centonomy Teens Boot Camp for you?
In short
Every parent wants their child to step into adulthood confident, capable and equipped for success, not overwhelmed, uncertain or figuring things out too late. Good grades can open doors, but young people also need financial intelligence, self-awareness and practical decision-making skills to navigate the realities of life.
Centonomy Teens Boot Camp is a five-day practical learning experience with six learning modules, engaging exercises, practical examples, mindset shifts and real-world application. The aim is not simply to teach concepts, but to help teens apply what they learn in the way they think, make decisions and approach their future.
This is for you if:
- Teenagers aged 13 to 18, ready to build practical life and money skills alongside their academic learning
- Teens beginning to manage pocket money and make independent choices
- Teens exploring their strengths and thinking about careers
- Teens discovering how business ideas can create value
