Overview

Mission

The Res is a 23-acre youth camp and nature center located on the east side of Mishawaka, Indiana. Surrounded by urban uses, the heavily wooded grounds are habitat to a wide variety of birds, animals, and wild flowers. Originally founded in 1920 as a Boy Scout Reservation, "The Res" is now owned by the non-profit organization. Our meadow, lodges, and cabins are available to rent for events, including field trips, weddings, church services and retreats, graduation parties, reunions, baby showers, family holidays, youth camping programs, and more. Overnight cabin and tent stays are for youth groups and member families only. Our trails are open to the public, unless the property is closed for an event.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided event space for community events. Provided outdoor education programs for 4th grade students in Mishawaka Schools.

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.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
