Arrowhead carries out its program by operating a year- round facility that serves people from the local community as well as the surrounding regions of Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois.

During the fiscal year 2,130 individual campers attended Arrowheads program tot- aling 6,535 camper days. A camper day is a 24 hour period.
