Non-profit camps obviously need to set their rates so they can cover the cost of operations, but a for-profit center can do very well if it can attract the right clientele.

If the cost of operations is 75% that of the admission fee, the camp would make about $800,000 in profit a year if they run programs all- year round. How can you make your business more profitable? Owners can consider branching out their services to include adults. They can even set up activities where employees come together for team-building days. Owners can modify the children’s activities to fit adult needs so that people can problem- solve and learn more about each other outside of the office. What will you name your business?
