Camp Ithiel

What Camp Ithiel does

Camp Ithiel is a non-profit Christian camp and retreat center located in Gotha, Florida, approximately one mile from the Orlando metropolitan area (2037 Hempel Ave, Gotha, FL 34734). The organization operates a single physical campus offering residential overnight camps, day camps, and facility rentals for church retreats, youth groups, weddings, corporate meetings, and family reunions. Its service portfolio spans overnight and day youth camps coordinated through host churches, lodging (166 beds across Trailblazer, Pathfinder, King Jr., and Dan West facilities), meeting and event spaces (Kramer Dining Center seating 180, Chapel seating 100, Heritage Hall), on-site food service, and recreation activities (swimming, kayaking, canoeing, gaga ball, challenge course).

The operation is built on commodity third-party technology rather than proprietary infrastructure: the website runs on Squarespace, online camp registration and credit-card processing are outsourced to ACTIVE (activecamps.com) under SSL-protected flows, and donations are collected through PayPal. No mobile app, proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, patents, or trademarks are disclosed. The website serves primarily as a marketing and information channel, supplemented by scheduled open houses and by-appointment facility tours; pricing is quote-based and not publicly posted, requiring prospective customers to submit availability inquiries.

Commercially, Camp Ithiel generates revenue from four identifiable streams: summer camp registrations (one-time fees with scholarship availability), facility rentals to retreat groups and event hosts, food service/catering for rental groups, and donations processed via PayPal. Its customer base is segmented across Youth and Family Camps, Church and Religious Groups, Weddings/Special Events, and Corporate/Community Groups, served regionally (Southeast US) via direct-to-consumer inquiry, online registration, and event-driven open-house engagement. No funding rounds, mergers, acquisitions, headcount figures, or audited financial disclosures are present in the source data.
