Mission

Skylark partners with local churches to provide world-class full summer camps in church facilities that are accessible, affordable, fun and spiritually intentional. Skylark enables our church partners to attract lots of unreached kids and families in the community, provide them a great summer experience, share the Gospel, and integrate them into the church.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Skylark partners with local churches to provide world-class full summer camps in church facilities that are accessible, affordable, fun and spiritually intentional.

  • Skylark's program is aimed to develop the spiritual, emotional, social, mental, andphysical well-being of grade school aged children. Our kids attend our readingprogram (SIGMA) multiple times a week, which keeps children on reading levelthrough both staff directed, and self-directed reading fun! Staff-led Bible studies are spiritually enriching, and provide a place of discussion, reading, memorization, and singing. The design of cabin groups is intended to encourage social-emotionallearning and playful engagement with peers. Activities are interspersed throughoutthe day to encourage children to be outside and live an active lifestyle. Parents have multiple ways to engage with camp through attending both in-person events, virtual postings, and accessible on-site staff via phone for any questions they may have. Lastly, all children and activities are led by our amazing college-aged staff in a 1:6 ratio to encourage safety, strong relationships, and give kids the best individual attention possible.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
