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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Part I, Line 1a
- Housing Allowances: Henry Kennedy and Sam Kennedy, who each served as the Organization's Executive Director during the period covered by this Form 990, received taxable stipends to assist them with housing and residential costs ($23,077 and $24,000, respectively). These stipends have been included in their taxable wages as reported on their 2022 Forms W-2, Box 5. Additionally, these stipends are included in the figures reported on this Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii), Other Compensation. Payments for Business Use of Personal Residence: During the year covered by this Form 990, the Organization entered a short-term license and use agreement with Henry Kennedy, the Organization's Executive Director Emeritus, to utilize personal properties and lodging units owned by Henry Kennedy for Kieve Wavus programs. The Organization leased the properties from Mr. Kennedy to provide additional lodging for camp guests and families. As part of the agreement, the Organization compensated Henry Kennedy $13,200, an amount considered to be reasonable and representative of the fair market value of the properties under the agreement. This agreement was subject to approval by the Organization's Board and Treasurer.
- Part I, Line 4b
- The Organization maintains a retirement plan under Internal Revenue Service Code Section 457(f) for the benefit of certain key employees. The Organization made contributions to the plan for the benefit of the employees in the amount of $102,354 for the December 31, 2022 tax year. As of December 31, 2022 total assets of the plan amounted to $407,554 and are presented as other assets, with an offset to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, within the statements of financial position. For the 2022 Tax Year, the following listed individuals received 457(f) contributions under the plan: Henry Kennedy, $39,202; Charlie Richardson, $33,154; Sam Kennedy, 30,000. The 457(f) contributions have been deemed to be deferred compensation and have been included within the amounts reported this Schedule J, Part II, Column C. The contributions to these plans are to recognize many years of distinguished service to the Organization.
- Part I, Line 7
- The Organization may from time-to-time pay bonuses, awards, and incentive compensation to select individuals upon the successful completion of defined goals and in accordance with clear performance metrics. During the year covered by this Form 990 specifically, Henry Kennedy and Charlie Richardson, who served as Officers on the Organization's Board, each received lifetime achievement awards to recognize 20-30 years of service provided to the Organization. These service awards were subject to review and approval by the Organization's Board of Trustees, and it is not anticipated that bonuses of this magnitude will occur in future years. These payments were included in the individuals' respective 2022 Forms W-2 wages, and have been included within the amounts reported on this Schedule J, Part II, Column B(ii).
