This camp is operated by a person named Park . They do not deliver anytging that they promiss . The agenda does not get followed and the instructors are young family members without any professional or fincial experince .
My child and i were very excited about this camp . We read the reveiews on line and decided to go for it . Please look at the online reviews if you examine them carfuly you will reliaze they are not written by consumers rather posted by the camp themselves . The reason i am posting is this, i do not wish for any other parent to fall for the same trap we did . please decide very carfully when considerin this camp .
ask this importnat question can they provide refernces for the students who attended the last session . ( please make sure they do not give you family members .
Ask for an agenda and exact places they will take your child .. Ask for the name of the teachers or their credntials . Make sure you have the right to cancell if they do not provide what is promissed .How may hours of class room instruction and what is the teaching method .
Do not pay by pay pal . Use a credit card . It is much harder to make your case with pay pal for a refund than cedit card comany .
Ask them will they be willing to refund your money if the agenda is not followed.
The web site is very good but i can tell you they will not deliver what is listed on the web site .

Dear West Caldwell
Your experience of Frank Parks (not Park) and his FICA camp is the same as ours. He is a dishonest man who has his listless kids working for him (they don't work, they stare at their phones) He accuses people who complain of being racist and has this gigantic response he must paste in because they all read the same. I agree with you. This is not a legitimite camp and families would be well served to trust their instinct when he tries to sell you on this mis-leading experience.
don't trust all the posed photo's. he spends half his days settin up posed photo's..

Founder/CEO/Presiden-Future Investor Clubs of America, Inc.
The Future Investor Clubs of America (FICA) founded in January 1997, is a EdTech, Software As A Service (SAAS), financial intelligence
training company designed to introduce youth ages 8-19 to the world of finance and business intelligence in a fun and exciting way.
FICA is dedicated to "Training Tomorrow's Investors Today TM. This outstanding financial intelligence training company was designed
by FICA Founder and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Frank Parks, with assistance from a group teachers and business leaders. Mr. Parks
decided to develop FICA after beginning to train his own two children then ages eight and nine about the world of finance. As a
professionally trained financial advisor and parent Mr. Parks worried about his kids growing up making financial mistakes simply
because of a lack of knowledge.
BBC Television Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=251g3SJ3MKk
Mr. Parks decided in 1995 to begin searching for a comprehensive financial training program for youth ages 8-19, he found none.
“I was searching for a program that my kids could get into that would provide superior financial training applications.
I wanted a comprehensive program that included but yet went beyond basic consumer economics, one that in addition to teaching
Kids/Teens about investments, would also over time train Kids/Teens on how to one day own a private or publicly traded company.
I wanted the students to go from becoming Young Investors, to Young Financial Analyst and to eventually become Young Executives.
I wanted my own kids to get the best training on the planet and decided that all kids that showed interest in finance and business
deserved the same.” I felt that a good financial training program would also give my kids the best chance to earn scholarships and
grants to attend a College or University to study business and finance. After 2 years of searching and discovering the lack of a
comprehensive financial training program, Mr. Parks decided to start what is now known as Future Investor Clubs of America (FICA).

This person contacted our company more than a dozen times during a two year period. During that time we treated her in a very professional manner as we have done with all parents during the past 20 years. Her student NEVER EVER ATTENDED our training or events. Therefore she is not legitimately qualified to pass judgement on its benefits.
Especially since thousands of parents, students, and teachers have praised this successful program during its 20 year history. Many of our student Alumni are now in corporate America; and on the campuses of some of the world top colleges and university business schools.
We will continue providing students with superior Basic, Advance, Executive, International, Leadership and Robotics financial intelligence training.

All 46 other students that registered for the summer program in the exact same city and led by the same instructor successfully completed the entire training and events. Participants completed the BFIT Curriculum, Business Lunches and Financial Field Trips to major corporations, college tours, banks, NYSE, NASDAQ, and more. Each student that completed the training program received Basic Financial Intelligence Training (BFIT) Certificate of Completion.

Truth Be Told 09-04-17:
Please be advised that this customers refund was processed and delivered as promised in the amount of $850.00. Since 1997 we have been hosting students from around the world for our summer camp programs and 100% of all approved and agreed upon refunds have been successfully processed as was in this case.
Due to the fact that we strictly limit the number of students attending our programs our Terms of Service agreement clearly states that our company has 90 days from the registered camp date to provide any agreed or approved upon refund. In this case we worked on behalf the customer to expedite her refund and we did.
In this case the summer camp date for this customer was July 17, 2017. Therefore the refund was not technically due until October 17, 2017. Regardless our company worked on her behalf to expedite the refund process 45 days ahead of the normal processing due date.
We believe that the fact that 100% of all agreed upon and eligible refunds has been successfully processed per our Terms of Service Agreement speaks for itself. We deliver.
During our 20 years of providing our camps, programs, workshops and online e-learning services to thousands of subscribers we have worked to provide all our students and parents a quality learning experience.

Since my last rebuttal regarding Future Investor Clubs of America and their decitful practices, I have made numerous yet polite and courteous efforts to call the company (of which there only seems to be 1 employee who is the President). I have left voice mails on his phone asking for updates and info on my PROMISED refund that was due August 14. The only response I have gotten alluded to the fact that if I keep asking for my money, he won't help me get it. I write this to forewarn prospective parents not to fall for this scam.

I registered my child for week of this "camp". After doing a deep online search for credibility, reliability, comments, etc, I did in fact find many negative on-line reports, including one on ROR. I called the president of the company a few times to mention the many on line reports (Florida BBB as well!); he eventually got defensive an upset and told me he would just refund my tuition in TOTAL. That was over 3 months ago! He has not refunded the tuition as promised(I have it stated in an email) and is not offering ANY explanation WHY it hasn't been. No other employee of the company ever answers phones or has a voicemail. ALL communication, business transactions go through only 1 person.
I believe this company is a SHAM and a SCAM.

Yes it is true that Frank Park runs this camp with his family. He does a great job. My son learned quite a bit about finance and stocks. He loved New York. Considering that the camp is in one of the most expensive cities in the world, I found it reasonably priced. We are from canada, no camps similar in canada. Nice that kids can have fun and learn at the same time.

My son attended the FICA camp here in San Francisco this year after having him at the New York camp last year, and let me tell you my son loved every minute of the camp. I never imagined waking up in the morning and being asked about the stock market. We attend Warriors games regularly and all my son could do is ask about the companies that work with the team or in the arena ever since he attended the camp last year and has increased this year.
My son met many corporations and individuals that know the business and how everything works around this wonderful country of ours, my son still talks about his visit in New York to New York Life as he was very focused on what the presenters had to say. He also had fun also which is something I also wanted in a camp.
My son will attend again this year as we are already prepared for the next camp. And take it from me your child will learn so much from this camp. Even if it is for one week or even two they will learn more in that time than anyone in their age bracket my son is not even in his teens and knows more than I ever did before my 30's. Me and my wife are glad we sent our son to this camp.

Frank, Orlando, Florida.
We believe that this false, misleading posting was placed by the parents of a student and made to look like it was written by a student. The parents threatened to do this type of posting and other awful things to potentially cause harm to our company, because their request for a refund was denied due to the Future Investor Clubs of America's Terms of Service Agreement.
Regardless, this student and his sister attended the Future Investor Clubs of America summer camp program in New York for One Single Day. This complaint is untruthful in so many ways and centers solely around this family not being eligible for a refund, for the one male and female registered student.
Its like a student dropping out of school after attending just the first day and then blaming the teachers, school, district and everyone else, but himself. Then his parents back him up, but the facts, truth, pictures and video's taken during the camp tell a totally different story. Its is very sad, but we believe that the Truth Be Told.
This student attended the FICA camp for one day and during that day the entire Agenda and Itinerary was followed 100%, as it has been for 17 years. Their departure caused them to miss a large majority of the curriculum training, financial field trips, corporate meetings, guest speakers and other schedule events.
Therefore it is our opinion that this student, his parents and sister, lack the necessary experience to adequately evaluate a quality training program after attending just one day; since he failed to complete preparatory training, complete the camp, attend the corporate meetings, field trips and finish any assignments.
Since 1997, over 30,000 students have successfully completed the training. These are the only two students to have behaved in this manner in the history of our programs. Disgraceful!
Our records show that a large majority (95%) of our students that complete our camp programs go on to attend college to study business and finance.
This makes Future Investor Clubs of America one of the best youth business and finance college preparatory programs in the USA. Many of our students attend some of the top business schools in the world.

Truth Be Told:
The camp description states that we provide our students with the following:
Camp Preparatory Training
Financial Intelligence Training
Financial Field Trips
Corporate Meetings
Guest Speakers
College/University Tours
Local Attractions & Tours
Examination
Certificates of Completion
All other students attending FICA Camps received the above, its what we do. See picture link below for proof of delivery and that there is nothing false about us only these malicious and erroneous statements.
During the New York FICA Camp this student and his sister were the only students out of 48 that registered for the one week of FICA Basic Financial Intelligence Training, that departed early. We think that speaks for itself.

You Wrote:
"They do not deliver anytging that they promiss . The agenda does not get followed and the instructors are young family members without any professional or fincial experince."
Truth Be Told:
On the Agenda/Itinerary for the first day that this student and his sister attended the camp was the following:
9am-10am- American Dream Plan
10am-11am- Financial Terminology
11am-12:00n- Banking and Insurance
12:00n-1:00pm Lunch
1:00pm-2:30pm-Financial Field Trips To Banks (TD Bank & Chase)
2:30pm-4:00pm Columbia University Business School Tour
4:00pm: Return To FICA Training location for dismissal.
Every single thing above that was listed on the Agenda/Itinerary for that day; did in fact happen as outlined. That's the fact. We also have the pictures with this individual and his sister participating in class and on the field trips. So this claim as is the rest is completely false. Visit http://www.ficatv.com.
The FICA Staff that led this summer camp event consisted of 3 individuals. All with substantial experience. One college business student intern and chaperon age 22 (13 Years FICA Experience); Another FICA Camp Leader and Tech Support, College Graduate in Business and Finance (20 Years FICA Experience).
Then there was the FICA Instructor, who has a Masters Degree in Business and Finance, as well as being a Certified Financial Intelligence Trainer, Executive and all are experienced investors.
In addition, the camp instructor has 20 years of experience in being associated with Future Investor
Clubs of America programs. We are so very proud to have all three of these individuals associated with FICA.
You Wrote:
"My child and i were very excited about this camp . We read the reviews on line and decided to go for it . Please look at the online reviews if you examine them carfuly you will realize they are not written by consumers rather posted by the camp themselves."
Truth Be Told:
Now we see the truth concerning who actually wrote this false and erroneous posting, the parent. All Future Investor Clubs of America members and subscribers express a strong interest in learning about about and finance. Most are very excited and enjoy attending the camp program. They never quit after one day.
That's why this company was created.
So it pains us when a young student like this is manipulated by his older college age sister who was forced to attend the camp by their parents when she did not want to be there. It seems that the only way she obviously felt to get out attending the camp was to falsely complain about everything, training, lunch, field trips, transportation, its ridiculous.
The pictures we have of both of them at the camp during the one day shows smiles and interaction with all the other students. But if the older daughter college freshman did not want to be their with high school kids she had to blame someone to get out of it regardless if it was not the truth.
The truth is FICA Kids absolutely love this camp. If you are a student interested in business and finance, how can you not love this camp. That's why out 30,000 student participants you don't see erroneous complaints like this one, because its just false and hateful.
When it comes to positive reviews, we have so many we can't post all the emails, statements and video' testimonials . Just visit our website, http://www.ficatv.com and listen to the parents, teachers and students who actually completed the camps and programs speak for themselves.
Our history has shown that an overwhelming majority of 99% of the students attending absolutely love this training and programs.
You Wrote:
The reason i am posting is this, i do not wish for any other parent to fall for the same trap we did. please decide very carfully when considerin this camp."
Truth Be Told:
We agree that parents and students should decide for themselves and be extremely carefully when reading a false complaint from someone that came for one day and did not attend the entire camp. That type of person has no real experience of how the camp was actually run, they were not there how could they.
Its like if these students went out for a sports team and after the first practice, quit and then criticize the coaches, school and team. But the Team goes on to win the championship without them.
Now was it the team with the problem or them. In this case, definitely they were the problem and truthfully the FICA Camp delivers and develop Champions!
The truth of the matter is here is what this student and his sister missed and the other students enjoyed during the FICA Camp New York 2014:
Basic Financial Intelligence Training:
Financial Terminology, Insurance and Banking, Financial Planning, Investment Terminology, Investing In Stocks, Annuities, Bonds, and Mutual Funds, Online Trading and Financial Web-Sites, Career and Credit Management, and Starting An Investment Club.
Advance Financial Intelligence Training:
Stocks Trading, Foreign Currency Trading, Options Trading, Mutual Funds Trading, Bonds Trading, Commodities and Futures Trading plus! Financial Field Trips & Tours:

"ask this importnat question can they provide refernces for the students who attended the last session. (please make sure they do not give you family members."
Truth Be Told:
Again out of 48 students (Not family members) registered for BFIT training only this brother and sister (family members) quit after one day. The other 46 completed the camp program. We think the fact that these individuals quit the program after just one day; absolutely disqualifies them from being in any position to tell anyone, especially other parents when and what they should do concerning the FICA Camp Program or anything else. It's ridiculous!

"Ask for an agenda and exact places they will take your child .. Ask for the name of the teachers or their credntials . Make sure you have the right to cancell if they do not provide what is promissed .How may hours of class room instruction and what is the teaching method."
Truth Be Told:
All parents receive a detailed FICA Camp Itinerary 15-30 days prior to the camp as did these parents. The itinerary of every summer camp program explains, curriculum schedule, classroom time, daily field trips and events. Parents are emailed and communicated with should there be any changes.
This is our 17th year of doing the exact same programs. All Future Investor Clubs of America Instructors are Certified Financial Intelligence Trainers, with Business and Finance College degrees. A large majority of our instructors are investors, financial services representatives, executives, business owners and or educators.
Most importantly many are former students that completed the program and are now successful in corporate America. What better testimonial than to have a quality program that the students loved so much that they wish to come back and teach other students.
Only a person with a negative mentality such as this individual would see something wrong with it. We are proud of this fact that our former students wish to return to FICA.
You Wrote:
Do not pay by pay pal . Use a credit card . It is much harder to make your case with pay pal for a refund than cedit card company .
Truth Be Told:
There is nothing wrong with PayPal if you don't have a negative mentality and or other motives. PayPal processes millions of payments daily. As we have proven by now this person is not qualified to tell anyone who they should use to make payment through. We use PayPal to process payments. However we will accept checks, wire transfers and other methods of payment. Future Investor Clubs of America Terms of Services Agreement outlines our Terms of Service and Refund Policy. To learn more about our refund policy visit http://www.ficaconnect.com/termsofservice.asp.
You Wrote:
"Ask them will they be willing to refund your money if the agenda is not followed."
Truth Be Told:
The Future Investor Clubs of America's Agenda/Itinerary is always followed. Again this person came for one day and the agenda and itinerary was followed for that day. However all camps and programs reserve the right to make changes due to unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather, accidents, cancellations, closures and acts of god. All camps and programs have a refund policy. These people just did not think our policies applied to them. This complaint is just wrong and only centered around a refund denial.

"The web site is very good but i can tell you they will not deliver what is listed on the web site."

We believe that parents and students are smart enough to see the truth for themselves.
In addition, the FICA website clearly states our training system, financial field trips, tours and history of the program.
We believe that all students attending our summer camp programs should receive the following as the FICA Camp Agenda/Itinerary clearly states:
Camp Preparatory Training
Financial Intelligence Training
Financial Field Trips
