Overview

Mission

Charitable and Educational. Our mission statement reads "enriching the lives of children with special needs by providing a summer program that supports friendships, life skills, and personal goals."

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide a summer camp experience for 32 children with moderate to severe disabilities ages 4-20. This includes field trips and recreational activities. Children's school goals are reinforced across all settings with 8 typical peers and 18 volunteers who joined to help children practice skills in a natural way. Camp Sunshine was able to add a preschool classroom and expand to include younger children this past summer. Utilizing peers and volunteers not only provided peer role modeling and support but also help to control expenses. Camp Sunshine continues to run most organizational components of camp with volunteers. These volunteers do everything from organizing and running fundraising activities, to conducting PR activities, to completing all bookkeeping activities.

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 97% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
