Overview

Mission

Our mission is to put individuals in a position to encounter the Lord. Our Baseball Country facility offers a variety of camps and outreach events for players and teams of all ages and regions.

What it reported doing in 2025

Some of our primary programs at Baseball Country are our Youth Camps. These camps include both individual youth softball/baseball camps as well as Team Camps. Our individual camps are in the summer for ages 6-13, where we provide individual instruction, along with various outdoor activities, such as fishing, archery, volleyball, and dodgeball. Our Team Camps run throughout the year for high school and college teams. We focus on growing the culture of the teams by putting them through experiential training and providing opportunities for service, team-building exercises, and peer/self assessment. In 2025, we offered 2 baseball camps and 2 softball camps, with 200 children attending. We also hosted camps for 18 teams from across the country.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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.
