Overview
Mission
Camp tecumseh ymca is a public charitable non-profit organization that serves people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, religions, genders, and socio-economic statuses. Our mission is to put christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Focused on preparing our campers and guests to make a positive difference in their own communities, our year-round programs teach the values of friendship, respect, trust, joy, initiative, and faith to 36,000 people each year in an inclusive, welcoming environment open to all. Through an array of programs designed to build relationships, connect with nature, and emphasize our core values, camp tecumseh helps our campers and guests grow. Every year through our campership program we help cover the cost of camp fees for children and adults from all backgrounds who wouldn't be able to afford a camp experience otherwise.
What it reported doing in 2025
Outdoor education programs for elementary and middle school students annually brings the camp mission to thousands of students who would not otherwise have the opportunity for a ymca camp tecumseh experience. Designed to extend the traditional classroom studies with enrichment activities in the out-of-doors, students experience the camp mission first hand. The program fee is subsidized so no student has to pay the full cost of the experience. Additionally, contributions help provide further fee assistance as needed.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
