Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

  1. $82,454 spent. INDIAN YOUTH CAMP INC. IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT EXISTS TO IMPACT THE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE SEVEN INDIAN RESERVATIONS OF MONTANA. THROUGH A WEEK-LONG CAMP EVERY JUNE, INDIAN YOUTH CAMP OFFERS NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO MINISTER TO THEIR NEEDS. INDIAN YOUTH CAMP PROVIDES AN INCREDIBLE WEEK FILLED WITH SPORTS, ARTS & CRAFTS, MUSIC, DRAMA, CHAPEL SERVICES, SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS, GOOD FRIENDS AND SO MUCH MORE. ALL OF THIS IS PROVIDED IN A WARM, SAFE AND LOVING CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT. IN 2024, IYC HELD EVENTS ON EVERY RESERVATION IN THE STATE OF MONTANA. THESE EVENTS FEATURED WORSHIP TIMES, A GOSPEL MESSAGE AND FUN ACTIVITIES FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO PARTICIPATE IN. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO CONNECT WITH STUDENTS AT THESE EVENTS WHICH WERE HELD IN THE SPRING BEFORE CAMP AND IN THE FALL AFTER CAMP. WE WERE ALSO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL CHURCHES WHO HOSTED THESE EVENTS, AND WERE ABLE TO GET STUDENTS WHO DON'T REGULARLY ATTEND CHURCH TO CONNECT WITH LOCAL YOUTH AND KIDS LEADERS. THE WEEK OF CAMP IN 2024 WAS POWERFUL WITH NEARLY 300 STUDENT CAMPERS IN ATTENDANCE AND A DOZEN OLDER STUDENTS IN OUR JR. STAFF DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM. THIS YEAR WE CONTINUED OUR FOCUS ON LIVING A LIFE OF FAITH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE THE RESPONSE DURING ALTAR TIMES, WITH STUDENTS ACCEPTING CHRIST, SEEKING A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, AND SEEKING THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
