Prodigy announces Innovator Camp: A storytelling program for aspiring young entrepreneurs

The Prodigy Project, a renowned organization with a 14-year legacy of empowering young storytellers, artists, and leaders, is thrilled to announce the launch of its newest initiative: Prodigy Innovator Camp. This transformative five-day program is designed to help teen entrepreneurs uncover their personal narratives and harness the power of storytelling to inspire action and drive change.

 

 

Set against the stunning backdrop of the high desert Brett Torino Foundation Ranch, just an hour from Las Vegas, Prodigy Innovator Camp will take place from Friday, May 30 to Tuesday, June 3, 2025. With only 12 spots available in this inaugural session, this exclusive camp promises to be an intimate and immersive experience for the next generation of change-makers.

 

Why Innovator Camp?

At the heart of every impactful business or social movement lies a compelling story. Yet many aspiring entrepreneurs struggle to connect their vision to a broader audience. Prodigy Innovator Camp begins where most entrepreneurship programs don’t—by focusing on self-discovery and personal storytelling.

 

How does your story drive you to make a difference in today’s world? – This question is at the core of the Innovator Camp experience. Participants will explore who they are, what has shaped them, and how their personal journeys can serve as a foundation for visionary entrepreneurship. “If knowledge is power then self-knowledge is superpower.  Learning to tell a story through your own unique lens is the key to every successful entrepreneurial venture,” says Prodigy Camp founder Rick Stevenson. 

 

Who should apply?

This camp isn’t just for teens with entrepreneurial experience—it’s for anyone passionate about making a difference. Whether you have a dream business idea or are just starting to explore your potential, Prodigy Innovator Camp will help you harness the power of storytelling to create meaningful change
