they've been struggling with funding since before Covid. It took a nationwide fundraising campaign in early 2021 just to keep it afloat


No doubt they are probably having trouble hiring like most companies, but I don't believe the part quoted above is accurate.

All fundraising that has been done has been for capital improvements. They did get in a bit of a crunch during covid. They were not eligible for PPP because they are a quasi-government entity and not a non-profit (and also too large by PPP standards). But they have since rebounded and paid back all the bonds they had issued before covid.

I would say they were thriving and in about as good as shape as they have ever been. TBD on how this will impact camps and visits going forward

They had a GoFundMe during that time that got pushed nationally. There was a thread here about it and people here donated to it. They stated they had to have a certain amount of money just to stay open.
