Overview

Mission

To provide an educational environment where young men can learn leadership skills, sportsmanship and self-discipline.

What it reported doing in 2024

Summer camp providing an environment for boys ages 8 to 16 to develop leadership and sportsmanship skills through athletics, the arts, mountain trips, and other outdoor 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 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
