Our master planning process connects your programs, operations, and long-term goals to identify what your site needs now—and what it must become for the future. The result is a clear, cost-aware plan that focuses resources, builds donor confidence, and guides growth with intention.
Objective Perspective
It’s easy to see your site as it’s always been. We bring an experienced outside view to reveal how your property could work better. Every recommendation is shaped by data, current trends, and perspective from hundreds of camps nationwide.
Built for Donor Confidence
Strong plans attract strong partners. We help you demonstrate due diligence and clear vision so boards and donors can invest with trust. Every master plan includes the insight and documentation you need to move fundraising forward.

The Core Components of
Every Master Site Plan
Site & Facility Strategy
We start by analyzing how your current site and facilities serve your programs. From program areas to critical infrastructure, we evaluate use, condition, and capacity to identify opportunities for growth.
Space/Program Alignment
Every acre and building should support your programs. We study how people move through your site, identifying ways to improve flow, accessibility, and flexibility so spaces work harder year-round.
Design & Phasing Plans
Our team, including planners and consultants, translates your vision into practical concepts. Plans outline priorities for renovation, new construction, and maintenance, sequenced to support sustainable growth.
Implementation Support
Every recommendation connects vision to reality. We provide cost estimates, phasing guidance, tools, and clear next steps your team can use to move forward with confidence and maintain momentum.
