Entrepreneurship games for students can help young people develop confidence, leadership, resilience and teamwork through real-world experiences. Twelve-year-old Flynn confidently walked through the international airport departure gate, heading off to Bali for an experience of a lifetime at Green SuperCamp Bali.
Although Flynn was excited, saying goodbye at five in the morning and watching him leave Australia without us for more than a week filled us with both pride and nerves.
Entrepreneurship Games for Students at Green SuperCamp
When Cathy and I first learnt about Green SuperCamp, we immediately recognised the tremendous character-building benefits it could provide for our children.
The activities challenged students physically, emotionally and mentally. They also helped the children build confidence, courage and self-belief.
Many activities at camp acted as entrepreneurship games for students. They encouraged teamwork, leadership, perseverance and problem-solving — all important qualities for future entrepreneurs.
We wanted to share Flynn’s experience on our Enterprise for Kids blog because we strongly believe the values taught at Green SuperCamp help build future leaders and entrepreneurial kids.
Flynn’s Reflection on Green SuperCamp Bali
Below is Flynn’s reflection written in his own words after returning home from camp.
“SuperCamp was an absolutely awesome experience!
The biggest challenge that I faced was going to Bali on my own without my parents. I just knew that I wanted to go on the Green SuperCamp, and to do that I had to go on my own.
I loved trying all the fun activities like mud wrestling, the high ropes course, Balinese dancing and seeing all the zoo animals.
I became friends with kids from all over the world. There were kids from America, Australia, Bali, Indonesia, London, India, New Zealand and Japan.
Everyone there was really nice, happy and determined to persevere through challenges. I liked everyone at Green SuperCamp!
One of my favourite activities was the mud fighting because I learnt self-defence and how to throw people over my back. This activity taught me perseverance and the importance of never giving up.
Leadership and Entrepreneurship Games for Students
We were taught Quantum strategies to think and learn. As a result, my reading became seven times faster.
The Bali Green SuperCamp was a fantastic experience. I think everyone should have a chance to go!”

Positive Changes After Camp
Since returning home, we have noticed a number of positive changes in Flynn. His teachers commented that he had been making a real effort at school and staying away from mischief.
He even started reading books willingly — something he usually avoided. In fact, Flynn reached his school reading goal within only three weeks.
In addition, he showed greater responsibility with chores, stronger focus in soccer and more confidence in everyday life.
Experiences like these demonstrate how entrepreneurship games for students and leadership activities can positively influence young people long after camp finishes.

What a great review, and it sounds like it was a great expereince. I love Flynn’s introductory response to the video, and I hope the momentum is maintained.
Hey Linda,
So far Flynn is going great guns. He had such a good time that he is already planning for next year. Amber will be the right age then, so I’m sure we’ll have 4 kids wanting to go in 2013.

The world IS his oyster! We’ve loved hearing the stories about the Green Super Camp and the friendships he made. Flynn’s learning has accelerated and we hope lots of other children get a chance to experience what Flynn, Kaitlin and Jai have experienced.
The Green Super Camp truly was an awesome experience.

Hey Trace,
Flynn was super pumped. He has made such improvement in all areas, so it’s very cool. We have been showing him all of these comments, so he is finally getting an understanding of how things flow to all corners of the world. Thank you for commenting and encouraging our son. I know he appreciates it too.
Cath and Trev
what an adventure. congrats on letting Flynn experience – brave by all involved. Cheers
Hi Roma,
No risk, no gain. We knew we would miss Flynn and as any parents would be, we were a little worried to have him go off without us, but luckily a lovely gentleman was accompanying his daughter to the camp and took Flynn under his wing. He had a great adventure.
Cath and Trev
