Overview

Mission

Camp Journey is a camp providing a community of hope for children and their families touched by cancer.

What it reported doing in 2025

Camp Journey's summer camps provides a summer camp where children dealing with childhood cancer can be "just a kid" in a medically supervised home-away-from-home atmosphere. During this week, they can immerse themselves in a fun-filled outdoor camp experience tailored expressly to their needs. Their related family weekend gives families a chance to experience the camp life with their children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
