Overview

Mission

Building and operating a camp for youth.

What it reported doing in 2022

Building, maintaining, operating a camp for youth. In 2021, a decision was made by the board to close and sell the camp. The camp was sold in Febuary and the board is finalizing the closing down of the non-profit and transfering its remaining cash from the sale of the property to another non-profit.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
