Overview

Mission

Our goal is to teach kids how to have being active. We operate summer camps for kids teaching them sports and outdoor adventure/education.

What it reported doing in 2022

Outdoor adventure camp - we taught kids outdoor adventures and important information regarding the pacific northwest. Skills taught included Leave no trace, water, kayaking, hiking, safety, first aid, outdoor shelters among other curricular items. Covid impacted the number of kids who could participate this summer

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
