A team of camp professionals committed to your mission.
For nearly four decades, Kaleidoscope has helped camps navigate both the promise and complexity of running mission-driven organizations. We’ve watched trends rise and fade, seen what creates long-term health, and learned how strong leadership, clear priorities, and thoughtful planning sustain organizations through change.
Under the direction of Principal Consultant Jody Oates, our team brings a people-first approach to every project. We listen closely, ask honest questions, and help leaders and teams work together with clarity and trust. Camps and ministries don’t need your typical consultants. They need partners who understand the heart behind the mission.
