Program Elements

The overall purpose of the Econ Camp is to improve economic literacy in Indiana, focusing on economic concepts identified in the Indiana Economics Standards. The Camp is an integral part of Indiana's contribution to the National Campaign for Economic Literacy, initiated by the National Council on Economic Education.

There are three primary goals of the Camp program:

Review and reinforce an understanding of economic concepts identified in the Economics Standards.
Share best teaching practices relating these concepts to current public policy issues.
Promote economics as an important part of the curriculum in the high school.
