Overview

Mission

Camp Blessing exists to provide help and hope to people of all abilities through Christ-centered camp experiences.

Camp operations: camp blessing provides a christ-centered barrier-free summer camp experience to individuals with disabilities. Outside of the summer months, we operate as a christian retreat center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
