Kathleen Thometz, the owner of Doodle Art & Design, has created a two-week entrepreneur camp at her Western Springs studio.

Thometz said during the first week of camp she will cover all of the aspects of business ownership from paying rent to obtaining insurance. Each little business owner will be given a miniature shop, and everyone will work to come up with their own concept, pricing and marketing plans. Each business owner will design, paint and build the interior, customize the front doors, and create the exterior of her shop.
