Overview

Mission

Operation of summer camp for kids

What it reported doing in 2025

We operate a free 5-week summer day camp merging academics and recreation for approximately 150 financially disadvantaged kids in grades 1 to 6 eligible for free and reduced meals FARMs. Our mission: prevent summer instructional backsliding to teach kids how to swim to cook and garden and gain general enrichment. Older kids learn to counsel and earn stipends.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
