Overview

Mission

The mission of teton valley ranch camp is to provide inspiring western adventure in the jackson hole and yellowstone area.

What it reported doing in 2024

Teton valley ranch camp provides unique, challenging, and fun western and backcountry experiences to campers 11 to 16 years old. Tvrc instills passion and respect for the outdoors while building self-confidence, skills, and lasting friendships. Tvrc's traditional camp program is a 30-day summer experience that includes a variety of activities on our ranch and a chance to explore the rugged landscapes of the west. Our program provides a variety of classic camp activities and unique Wyoming adventures. From horseback riding to fly fishing, lapidary to archery, each day, campers can try something new. In addition to a wide range of half-day activities, several day trips depart each morning. These trips include fishing expeditions, trail rides, and day hikes. With a myriad of opportunities right in our backyard, campers love to go swimming in high alpine lakes and fishing in pristine rivers. Alongside our day trips and in-camp activities, our backcountry trips program provides an opportunity to explore Wyoming like never before. Every camper completes a backpacking trip and a horse pack trip, exposing them to the beauty and wonders our world has to offer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 64% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
