Overview
Mission
The organization will operate summer camps that are week-long residential camps on a university campus, designed as a rite of passage for christian youth ages 15-20.
What it reported doing in 2024
There is a parallel track for youth leaders to equip them in christian- adulthood-focused youth ministry. The organization believes that youth are capable of more, designed for greater things, and are more valuable than they know. The organization calls them into that bigger life into christian adulthood.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
