Overview

Mission

It is our mission to promote physical, social and spiritual development of all who utilize our programs and facilities resulting in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2024

Central Maine Bible Conference operates Fair Haven camps throughout the year serving children and adults. During the summer, Fair Haven camps has 8 weeks of youth summer camps. The organization provides scholarship at a reduced rate or at no cost to many children. In addition to camps and retreats, we offer our conference center as a rental site for your school, homeschool group, youth group, church, or non-profit events. Fair Haven Camps offers engaging programming, seasonal and year-round facilities, a commercial kitchen with food service, and year round staff all in a rustic, lakefront setting.

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.
  • 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
