Overview

Mission

To offer a high quality and engaging summer camp and after school program for children from Pre-K to 8th grade focusing on developing employability/soft skills, promoting healthy habits, and creating servant leaders.

What it reported doing in 2025

Summer Camp - Youth program conducted 5 days a week during the summer for registered students from grades Pre-K through 8th grade to teach employability skills and engage them in fun activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
