Overview

Mission

Provide a Christian camping experience for 150+ children, including Biblical training, relationship development, leadership advancement, creation appreciation, activity skill progression, and camping skills that allow campers to explore their individual potential.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
