Overview

Mission

Advance Camp is a day camp held for fatherless young men (in 6th-12th grade) to come and learn practical skills that Dad would have taught him if he was involved in his life.

What it reported doing in 2025

By investing in the lives of fatherless young men, we aim to break the cycle of father absence and equip them with the tools necessary to become successful and responsible adults. We strive to build resilience, character, and a sense of purpose within each young man, empowering them to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
