What it reported doing in 2025

Kids camp and family camp. Kids camp is a traditional summer camp for kids. Family camp is a retreat for families. Like the kids summer camp, family camp provides tons of fun activities in the great outdoos centered on family, friends and god; simple lodging and meals are included. Think of it as a family vacation that intentionally focuses on time for families to connect with god and each other. The goal is to provide a family escape thats not only fun, but deeply meaningful. Each day is filled with programming that brngs families together in playful activities. Nights are spent on music, singing, dancing, skits, and a short, relevant message of gods love. Kids camp takes place several weeks each summer. Family camp takes place up to 6 times per year with five or six families participating.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

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