🍋 Fort Kids Lemonade Stand Challenge

Grades K–5 | Entrepreneurial & Business Skills

Calling all young entrepreneurs! In this hands-on event, students in grades K–5 will learn what it takes to build, brand, and run the BEST lemonade stand in town. Through fun activities, teamwork, and creative challenges, kids will explore the world of entrepreneurship while building confidence and real-world skills.

What We’ll Do:

• Plan the Product: Plan what type of lemonade you want to sell? Will they have pop rocks or nerds? Or maybe strawberries and blueberries.

• Brand Your Stand: Design eye-catching signs, choose a stand name, and create a unique look that makes customers stop and sip.

• Master Marketing: Learn how to spread the word through creative promotions, pricing strategies, and friendly customer service.

• Business Basics: Understand simple money math, making change, and tracking profits.

• Launch & Sell: After the class, participants will have 1 week to set up and sell lemonade in their neighborhood or at community spots— but please no public spaces, unless given permission.

Skills Gained:

• Creativity & problem-solving

• Communication & teamwork

• Marketing & money management

• Confidence & leadership

By the end of the challenge, each participant will have the tools, confidence, and know-how to run a successful lemonade stand—and the chance to make a difference in our community while having fun!
