Summer Money,
Winter Bills.
A team simulation about profit, cash flow, and financial statements.

The scenario: Flathead Float Co.
Your team runs a seasonal rafting company with three rafts, a shuttle van, and a gear shed. Spring demands cash. Summer looks promising. Fall brings an offer. Winter brings the bills.
Decide together. Keep an eye on both profit and cash. Submit two decisions and two Quick Checks each season. After your instructor reveals the round, inspect the four statements and highlighted changes.
