Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Creative Camping Services (CCS), LLC's mission is to enrich lives, strengthen connections, and create lasting relationships through the spiritually driven and faith based provision of camping programs, logistics, and services.
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| CCS offers week long camps that facilitate growth by teaching life skills, empowering others, providing adventure, and developing inner strength resilience so that our campers can overcome any challenge. CCS was a summer season only camp that operated from the months of June through August. CCS employed 16-20 full-time staff throughout the year and hired summer staff to support the summer camp activity. Fiscal year 2019 was the only year that camp was held due to the Covid pandemic. During Fiscal 2020, CCS held out hope that summer camp would occur as Covid restrictions were lifted. As such, normal camp expenses were incurred. In July 2020, it became obvious that Camp would not occur and that CCS would be closed. In Fiscal 2021, income statement balances were unusual as they were primarily a function of closing out balance sheet items. Certain vendor refunds were received in Fiscal 2021 as well. | $0 | $80,877 |
