Overview
Mission
To help the local church evangelize and disciple their youth and to strengthen their families to be conformed to the image of christ through the nondenominational ministry of the organization.
What it reported doing in 2024
Youth camp activities, family camps, seminars, retreats, concerts and general activities of the christian-based organization conducted on approximately 307 acres located in huntingdon county, Pennsylvania. Week-long camps for children and teens ages 8 to 18 and weekend retreats for all ages. Religious and nonprofit organizations host their camps and retreats and events at the camp facilities, with the camp staff providing ala carte services for housing, food service and activities. The camp staff is paid; however, there were 20 volunteers assisting the paid staff for the week-long camps. Camp operations are sustained by low fees paid by the campers and supplemented by donations by the public. Scholarship funds are available for persons who demonstrate a need for financial assistance to offset the camper fees. Scholarship funds are provided by restricted contributions and from the net profit from the annual golf benefit. In 2023, scholarship funds provided $37,580 discounted camper fees to campers in need. There were approximately 750 campers during the summer programs and many more during the specialty retreats, community rentals and church events.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
