Getting Started – Financial Education Resources for
Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Foster Parents and Guardians
Thank you for wanting to teach your kids about money and investing so they are financially savvy when they’re older. Our theory is that it’s never too early or too late to learn about money.
Would your life be different right now if you had learned how to manage your money wisely and invest it for the future when you were young? Most parents answer “YES” to this question and it’s the main reason parents usually go searching for a great way to make sure their kids don’t have to learn about money ‘the hard way.’
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, foster-parent, or other guardian of a child or teen (or several), we have unique and effective financial education solutions to offer you for just about any age. And if you still don’t know what you want or need, please pick up the phone and give us a call at (786) 627-8520. We love to talk ‘financial education for kids’.
“Rayanna and Joel came home having learned a lot from one day of camp. They thought the day was going to be boring with speakers all day, but were surprised to learn all day by doing fun activities.” A. Cortes, Mom
Summer Financial / Money Camps for Kids & Teens
Camp Millionaire Summer Camp
Camp Millionaire is our signature financial education camp that started back in August of 2002 with 39 kids in a hot, stuffy room at a local Boys & Girls Club in Santa Barbara, CA. It was such a success, we’ve been doing them ever since AND we’ve sold our curriculum to thousands of others who have been teaching kids about money as well.
NOTE: While all camps were cancelled in 2020, we’re hoping 2021 will bring them alive again.
Moving Out! for Teens Camp
Our teen financial education and life prep summer camp teaches teens everything they need to move out and stay out!
From learning the financial basics they need to thrive as adults to how to rent apartments, create resumes, dress professionally and create budgets, Moving Out! for Teens is just the ticket. Oh…and it’s a blast, too!

Rules to The Money Game - Financial Principle Cards
We all know there are quite a few rules you need to know and use to win The Money Game. Creative Wealth’s Financial Principles are the basic principles financially free people have used for centuries to get, and stay, financially free.
By exposing your children to these financial principles when they are young, you can help them establish lasting financial thoughts, beliefs, and habits that will follow them into adulthood.
Print, glue on card stock, and cut into small cards. Don’t understand the principles yourself? No problem! We’ve got you covered.
The Money Game for Kids & Teens
The Money Game is a fun and experiential way for kids and teens (and adults) to learn about money. While the game was originally intended for groups of children, it works great at home as well.
With The Money Game, we like to say that the room is the board and the kids are the pieces. The lessons, by the way, also last forever. Kids learn by doing…they get the lessons, principles, habits, etc. in their bodies. It’s an emotional and fun experience and most kids will play the game over and over again.
Temporarily available only in the downloadable version (PDF Download).
