Overview
Mission
Camp summit's mission is to provide barrier-free outdoor experiences that promote personal growth and foster independence for children and adults with disabilities.
What it reported doing in 2025
Camp Summits program services include both day/weekend and week-long barrier-free camp experiences for children and adults with disabilities. In 2025, the program served over 1,100 campers and included 20 weeks of week-long camp (including summer which includes our Deaf/Blind week, fall sessions, and several 1-day program opportunities. Individuals with severe disabilities are welcome to attend the camps, which is why our camper to counselor ratio is 2 to 1. No camper is ever turned away due to financial hardship. The recreational therapeutic programming includes swimming, music garden, performing arts, adapted ropes challenge courses, nature study, archery, arts and crafts and group activities. This is one of few camps in the south that serves adults with no upper age limit. Approximately 90% of the campers request financial assistance and are aided through a sliding scale fee or scholarships (camperships).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 64% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
