What they do

WE BELIEVE THE CHILDREN and THEIR FAMILIES IN OUR CARE DESERVE THE CHANCE to HEAL BY BEING VALUED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT BY COMPETENT, CARING PROFESSIONALS. CAMP OAKLAND is A PRIVATE, NONPROFIT TREATMENT AGENCY THAT SERVES AT-RISK CHILDREN and YOUTH. OVER 300 CHILDREN ARE SERVED ANNUALLY IN OUR INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL and VOCATIONAL CORE PROGRAMS. WE UTILIZE A PROVEN THERAPEUTIC MODEL COMBINING CHOICE THEORY and ADVENTURE BASED EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TECHNIQUES BUILT ON A FOUNDATION of TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE. WE EMPOWER YOUTH SO THAT THEY CAN LEARN HOW to EVALUATE THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR and ACTIONS IN ORDER to MAKE THOUGHTFUL DECISIONS IN THEIR LIVES, WHILE ALSO FACILITATING EMOTIONAL and PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING. OUR BEAUTIFUL 160-ACRE, WOODED MAIN CAMPUS PROVIDES AN IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FROM WHICH to OFFER A WIDE VARIETY of PROGRAMMING. IT is AMAZING WHAT KIDS DISCOVER ABOUT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY to DISCONNECT FROM TECHNOLOGY.

Tax year 2024

A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.

How each $100 of revenue was used

The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.

Total reported revenue$2,880,629
Mission workProgram services$2,384,62482.78% of revenue77.3% of expenses
ManagementOffice and general costs$592,91720.58% of revenue19.2% of expenses
FundraisingAsking for donations$108,8313.78% of revenue3.5% of expenses
Total expenses$3,086,372107.14% of revenue

Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
