Faith Haven Camp Inc

What Faith Haven Camp Inc does

Faith Haven Camp Inc is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization operating a year-round Christian camp facility on Eagle Lake in Battle Lake, Minnesota. The organization was founded after Jennie Olson donated part of her family farm with the intent of creating a place to introduce children to Jesus, and it is currently managed by Scott and Lisa Larson, who have served as camp managers since 2004. Governance rests with an 11-member volunteer Board of Directors. The facility features over 850 feet of lakeshore, two lodges with capacity for groups of up to 160, a smaller Roberts cabin, multiple chapels and meeting spaces, two indoor gyms, and dining facilities; it serves church youth groups, adult church groups, family reunions, and special-interest community events such as craft retreats and an annual golf classic fundraiser.

The core product is a facilities-based retreat experience — lodging, meals, meeting space, and activity infrastructure (swimming, paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, sports fields, winter activities) — where customers supply their own programming and leadership, distinguishing the offering from staff-led camps. Ancillary revenue streams include cafeteria-style meal service at $12 per person, an on-site canteen selling snacks and merchandise, and tax-deductible donations. Pricing is unit-based, with tiered 2026 rates varying by stay length, season (peak: Memorial Day through Labor Day), and registration vs. nonprofit status, and reservations require a non-refundable deposit.

The business is direct-to-consumer, with no intermediaries, resellers, or distribution partners; customer acquisition runs through the faithhavencamp.org website, an email newsletter, phone/email contact, community events, and word-of-mouth referral within regional church networks. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, app, or API; the Squarespace-hosted website and Vanco payment gateway comprise its disclosed digital infrastructure. It does not pursue artificial intelligence, research, or patent activity.
