California-based Camp Millionaire Makes Global Debut

SANTA BARBARA — April 16, 2012 – While certain U.S. agencies are looking busy convening meetings about how best to improve this nation’s financial literacy, people from other countries are using a U.S.-based program to get right down to business.

“A solid financial education program crosses borders,” says Elisabeth Donati, founder of Creative Wealth International and creator of Camp Millionaire, “and we’re being recognized around the world for having the best. I’m thrilled at the prospect of a financially literate world,” says Donati, “even if my own country is the last to get on the wagon.”

Donati is known for her dynamic education methods and her straight-forward delivery style. “Listen, the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability just outlined six steps to financial capability. I have one. Just do it. We don’t need any more strategy or any more advice; we just need to get into every classroom and teach!”

At present, Camp Millionaire has a home in China, Colombia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, and most recently, Vietnam.

“The people from other countries recognize the necessity of teaching their youth about money – which we do, too – but they’re not talking about it; they’re actually doing it.”

Creative Wealth International holds its popular Train the Trainer sessions two times a year, attracting an international audience along with its many home-grown educators.

“It doesn’t matter whether you spend your money in dollars or yen or pesos. The concepts and lessons we teach with The Money Game and Camp Millionaire translate into every language, and so does the fun!”

Creative Wealth International is located in Santa Barbara, California, and has been teaching kids and adults about money since 2002.
