Overview

Mission

To provide a camping experience for physically and or mentally challenged individuals among their peers that encourages independence and self confidence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Lions Camp Tatiyee offers a complimentary summer camp in eastern Arizona for individuals with physical or mental challenges. The camp operates for 8 weeks in summer accommodating an average of 34 campers per week across the 8 sessions at no cost. With a capacity of 75 campers weekly the camp caters to both children and adults aged 7 and above organizing groups based on age and requirements.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
