Campers
Assumptions• Mount Baker Council membership will grow with the local area
• National Camp Standards will continue to evolve
• Government regulations will continue to grow
• Camp fees will remain aligned with the region
• Expenses will keep up with inflation
• MBC Units camping patterns will not materially change
• CBM will not become a destination camp
• Relocating the dining hall is prohibitively expensive
• Winter usage and fees will not significantly increase
• CBM will continue to attract out-of-council units at the historical average
• Break even operating requires a 600 youth, 5 week summer program
• Financial analysis does not include depreciation
• CBM uses can be incorporated into existing facilities, currently and in the future
Options
1. Continue operations as-is– Accept losses
2. Cease operations– Consolidate into CFM
• Study group unable to find strategy to increase campership or revenue
