The problem
Summer Is When the Activity List Gets Built, and Most Teens Fill It With the Same Things
Admissions offices look hard at summers. Since the pandemic, test scores carry less weight, and the question they ask now is simple: what did this student actually do with their time?
Most teens spend it the same way. A sports camp, a job, a summer program ten thousand other applicants also took, and a lot of hours on their phone.
Parents want a summer that gives their teen something specific to say on the application and a skill that still matters long after college. Investing does both.
A TYPICAL TEEN SUMMER
1
A sports camp that most of the team also attends
2
A summer program every other applicant lists
3
Long afternoons on a phone
4
Two weeks of investing camp, a trading record they can explain, and a skill they keep for fifty years
Why summer works
Two Focused Weeks Build the Skill Faster Than a Busy School Year Can
The summer camp teaches the same full program as the school-year weekends. Summer changes how fast it sticks.
1
Class Every Day
Your teen comes back to the market every morning, so each lesson builds on yesterday's while it is still fresh. Ten classes in two weeks keeps the momentum going.
2
Nothing Competing for Attention
No homework, no tests, no practice the night before. Your teen gives the market their full attention, and the rest of the day stays free.
3
Ready Before Fall
Your teen finishes camp with the skill, a certificate, and time left in the summer to start a project before the school year and application season begin.
A day at camp
Your Teen Does the Work at Camp, Not Just the Listening
After ten years at Morgan Stanley, Annaline found that teenagers can grasp the stock market. They just cannot be taught like adults. So she translates the way a professional works into a teenager's world.
Research starts at home with the cereal box, the phone, and the car in the driveway. Every class is live and small, with breakout groups, games, and brain breaks built in. Your teen gets a live simulated trading account loaded with virtual cash, places real trades in real time, and keeps the account after camp ends.
ONE CAMP DAY
Hour 1
Live lesson with Annaline: a new piece of how the market works, taught with real companies your teen already knows
Break
A 10-minute break to reset
Hour 2
Breakout groups of 8 to 10 by age: research, games, and trades in their own simulated account
After
The rest of the day is theirs. No homework.

A FAMILY TRIP
Split the Two Weeks
Your teen can take Week 1 in one session and Week 2 in a later one. A trip in the middle of July does not mean missing camp.

Optional add-on
The Teen Investor Cup Is Where Your Teen Can Put the Skill to Work After Camp
Competitions now carry real weight on college applications. The Teen Investor Cup is Annaline's international investing competition, and only students who finish the program can enter. Your teen manages a simulated portfolio against students from around the world, with weekly coaching from Annaline.
Camp is complete on its own. The Cup is an extra step for teens who want to compete once they finish.
ON THE ACTIVITY LIST"Went to an investing camp"
IN THE ESSAY"Competed in an international investing competition"
- Optional, and open only to students who finish
- Add it at checkout, or after camp ends
Student projects
The Project Your Teen Builds After Camp Is What Admissions Offices Remember
A project is something a student starts on their own using what they learned: a fundraiser, a podcast, a campaign, a club. Admissions officers read thousands of activity lists, and a project tells them this student took initiative and finished something. It also gives your teen a real story for the essay and the interview.
Camp ends with weeks of summer left, which is the perfect time to start one. Here is what three students built after the same class.
SHANE
TYLER
Changed a State Law
Tyler finished the program at 15 and petitioned his state senator to get financial literacy taught in New York public schools. He collected 500 signatures and the senator sponsored the bill. He is at Cornell now.
ANNA
Taught Her Community
Anna built Monopoly Money Mastery, a podcast library that teaches kids in her community how to invest using real estate. She got into her first-choice college.

Your teen's instructor
Hi, I'm Annaline Dinkelmann
I started my career on Wall Street, literally. I spent ten years at Morgan Stanley with an office across the street from the New York Stock Exchange. I traded professionally, and for years I gave walking tours of Wall Street. During the 2008 financial crisis, I was the guide financial journalists turned to when they needed Wall Street explained.
I have taught teenagers to invest for 15 years, online since 2020. Summer camp is my favorite time of year. With class every day, I watch students go from asking what a stock is on Monday to defending their own trades by the second Friday.
I do not recommend stocks, and this is not a get rich quick class. I teach teenagers how the market works so they can make their own decisions for the rest of their lives.

Questions
Questions Parents Ask Before Enrolling
Why enroll now if camp is in the summer?
Enrolling by December 31 saves $500. Camp is $997 now and $1,497 later. You do not have to choose your weeks today, and you can get a full refund up to one week before your teen's first class.
What is the schedule?
Camp runs two weeks, Monday through Friday, two hours a day with a 10-minute break. Week 1 is Wall Street 101 and Week 2 is Investing & Trading.
Can my teen split the two weeks?
Yes. Your teen can take Week 1 in one session and Week 2 in a later one. Week 1 comes first because Week 2 builds on it.
Is there homework?
No. All the work happens during camp, and the rest of the day is your teen's.
What if my teen misses a day?
Annaline records every class. Your teen watches the one they missed and joins the next class caught up.
Do you have sessions for other time zones?
Yes. Annaline runs select sessions at times that work for international students. Email annaline@teachmewallstreet.com for the international schedule.
Is this good for beginners?
Yes. Week 1, Wall Street 101, starts from the ground up. Most students arrive knowing nothing about the market and leave able to explain how it works.
Will my teen be bored?
Annaline built camp for teenagers. Classes are live and small, with breakout groups, games, and brain breaks, and students trade in their own account during the first days.
How is summer camp different from the weekend program?
Both teach the same full skill. Summer camp runs every weekday for two weeks, so the lessons build day to day with nothing else competing for your teen's attention. The weekend program spreads the same classes over six weekends during the school year.
Is the Teen Investor Cup required?
No. The Cup is an optional add-on, open only to students who finish the program. Camp is complete without it.
Does this count as an extracurricular for college applications?
Yes. Camp goes on the activity list, the certificate goes in the application file, and the skills give your teen something specific to write about.
Do you offer sibling discounts?
Yes. Email annaline@teachmewallstreet.com and the team will set up a 10% discount for a second child.
What is the refund policy?
A full refund if you cancel one week or more before your teen's first class.
Did not find your question? Email annaline@teachmewallstreet.com.
