Strategic Alignment
We bring leaders together around shared goals and realistic pathways, connecting mission, metrics, and capacity so every decision supports long-term growth.
Focused Momentum
Through practical planning and collaborative workshops, your team leaves with clear direction, measurable goals, and renewed energy for the work ahead.

The Four Dimensions of Strategic Planning
Mission & Values
We clarify your mission, values, and purpose to ensure decisions, priorities, and investments remain aligned with why your organization exists and who it serves.
Leadership & Capacity
We assess leadership structure, governance, and capacity to support clear decision-making, shared accountability, and the ability to lead change with confidence.
Operational Health & Systems
We examine operations, finances, staffing, and systems to understand how your organization functions day to day and where improvements will strengthen performance.
Programs & Overall Impact
We review programs and facilities to evaluate how effectively they deliver on your mission, meet participant needs, and create meaningful, sustainable impact.
Our Development Process
Phase 01
Assess Current Conditions
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your mission, context, and current realities. Through data review, conversations, and reflection, we clarify what growth means for your camp and establish shared goals grounded in your mission.
Phase 02
Define What Growth Means
Every camp grows differently. We work with leadership to clarify your vision for growth, whether that means reaching more guests, strengthening finances, or expanding programs, and set shared goals that fit your mission.
Phase 03
Align Leadership Around Priorities
Growth requires alignment. We bring boards, directors, and staff together to focus on what matters most, clarify roles and decision-making, and build shared ownership around priorities that will guide the work ahead.
Phase 04
Evaluate Capacity for Growth
We assess what your organization can realistically support, from staffing and leadership capacity to funding, systems, and facilities. This ensures growth goals are achievable, sustainable, and grounded in your operational reality.
Phase 05
Shape Strategic Choices
We identify the possible pathways to move from current conditions toward your growth vision. Through scenario planning, we evaluate trade-offs, clarify priorities, and name the key levers that can drive momentum and impact.
Phase 06
Create the Action Plan
Together, we translate strategy into action by outlining clear steps, timelines, and responsibilities. The result is a practical roadmap that makes growth achievable, trackable, and aligned with your long-term goals.
