JA Stock Market Challenge Camp 2026

Featuring: JA Stock Market

JA Stock Market Challenge® is a live simulation where students take what they learned in the classroom, through the JA Take Stock in your Future® curriculum, and apply it to the real world. JA Areas facilitate fast-paced competitions based on a fictional marketplace. Students can compete in teams or individually, in person or remotely.

Featuring: JA Take Stock in Your Future

Through JA Take Stock in Your Future®, students discover the benefits and challenges of investing in the stock market as part of a broader, long-term investment strategy and the risks and rewards of trading. (grades 9-12) The program includes five 45- minute sessions, with additional extended learning activities and optional digital assets offered throughout, including an optional online or site-based JA Stock Market Challenge competition.

Presented in Partnership with Virginia Credit Union

When: Monday, July 20, 2026 - Friday, July 24, 2026

Where: Virginia Credit Union

Time: 10:00 AM ET

Whether your student is brand new to financial concepts or already curious about investing, this camp is designed to inspire confidence, curiosity, and future success. Throughout the week, campers will explore how the stock market works, learn smart investing strategies, and build confidence managing money in a fun, supportive environment. Through interactive games, team challenges, and engaging activities, students will begin to understand risk, reward, and how financial decisions impact their future.

This isn’t your typical camp experience—students won’t just learn, they’ll do. Campers will collaborate, compete, and think like real investors as they build their own strategies and portfolios.

The week wraps up with an exciting Stock Market Challenge, where campers put their skills to the test in a friendly competition. Families and guardians are invited to attend the final day to watch, celebrate, and see what students have learned.
