What it reported doing in 2025
Our camp programs include overnight camps as well as day camps during the summer and various holidays throughout the year. Camp roger and camp mill hollow provide resident camping for all youth and is accessible to all families. Our camp programs include our four core components of art, fitness, environmental stewardship, and leadership development. Camp programming integrates the six values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, friendship and social engagement. These elements are evident in the programming, activities, staff, and youth interactions. Youth develop positive relationships, build strong self esteem, and shape a positive self efficacy. We provide each camper with a meaningful experience that positively impacts their lives for years to come. They grow physically, socially, and spiritually. We served over 2560 participants in our various camps during the year.
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 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
