Overview

Mission

We are a christian camp organization that offers overnight camps to teach children and youth about christ's love for them. We also offer our space for other groups to do the same.

What it reported doing in 2025

Other groups: offers the camp to groups to teach children in an outdoor setting. Many of the groups are church groups wanting to build relationships with their children, and teach them more about christ. Other groups use the outdoor setting as a way of teaching them science and other activities. It also gives them a setting to build relationships and learn how to get along.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
