Overview

Mission

St. Vladimir's camp & retreat center exists to nurture orthodox christian faith, foster lifelong friendships, and cultivate a joyful, christ centered community. Through immersive outdoor experiences, meaningful fellowship, and intentional spiritual growth, we provide a place where children and teens can step away from distractions, encounter god's creation, and strengthen their relationship with christ. We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, environment where every camper can grow in faith, build confidence, and discover their god given gifts.

What it reported doing in 2025

We offier 3 weeks of camp, serving over 120 campers from 8 states who would be entering 2nd grade through 12th grade in the upcoming school year. The campers participate in morning and evening prayers, daily spiritual education, outdoor activities, athletic events, crafts, and a different service project each week. Over 60% of campers eligible by age to camp for more than one week, chose to do so, citing this as their favorite part of summer.

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

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 a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
