Overview
Mission
Woodland Christian Camp exists to provide opportunities for Christian growth in a natural setting. One Time Gifts:** Your contribution to Woodland Camp is given as a one-time gift to any area of our program you choose or to the general fund for monthly operating expenses. Camp Scholarship Fund:** If you are interested in sending a camper to Woodland, you can contact your local church or our Camp Office. Sponsor a Summer Staff:** You can help a Summer Staff by providing a portion of his/her mission salary for the summer. Your help will enable Woodland to provide more funding directly toward programming for young people. Woodland generously provides housing and food, as well as a portion of a Summer Staff's base salary. Please contact the camp office for more information.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 88% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
