Our story
The Kamloops Story
Lemonade Day is coming to Kamloops!
Help us empower today’s youth to be tomorrow’s entrepreneurs!
Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own, and operate their own business – a lemonade stand.
Lemonade Day's mission is to inspire young people to embrace their potential and confidently contribute to their communities, fostering a brighter future for everyone!—the business leaders, social advocates, volunteers, and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow.
Each registered child receives access to the Lemonade Day curriculum, which teaches them lessons like creating budgets, setting profit-making goals, serving customers, repaying investors, and giving back to the community. Along the way, they acquire skills in goal-setting and problem-solving and gain self-esteem critical for future success. They keep all the money they make and are encouraged to spend some, save some, and share some.
