Strategic Plan Todd Skiles –

 Webelos Camps are the single most popular program at Goshen.  They sell out each year.  Key to long-term retention and growth.  Existing Program Gear is showing age. ◦ “ ‘yaks have cracks”  Proposal Assumes: ◦ Maintaining current camps. ◦ Same approach at both camps allowing for customization by staff.

 Tier 1 Level – Purchases with focus on long- term maintenance.  Tier 2 Level – Construction Projects  Tier 3 Level – Managerial and Service

 2013 ◦ Telescopes - $4,000  2 Dobsonian and 2 Refractors each per camp. (8 total) ◦ Compound Bows - $2,500 (10 per camp) ◦ Kayaks, 10 per camp - $9,000 ◦ Tools for both camps - $4000  2014 ◦ Rowboats with oars/locks - $5,000 (phase 1)  2015 ◦ Return of “The Blob” - $13,000* ◦ Rowboats Phase 2 - $5,000* *Dependency on Tier 2 Construction

 2013 – Not Feasible ◦ Expand PMI Parking - $4000  2014 ◦ Expanded Aquatic Frontage - $75,000 ◦ Theme Area Construction (the “set”) - $60,000 ◦ Additional field areas - $45,000 ◦ Exhanced Shooting Pavilions – Archery - $50, ◦ Second Dock - $30,000 ◦ Additional Pavilions (4 total, 2 powered) - $150,000 ◦ Expanded Shooting Pavilions – BBs - $50,000 *rough estimates only – needs better cost analysis

 2013 – can a slight mod be made with the team building the spillway to clear additional space at PMI for parking?  Ross needs a permanent archery facility rather than just canopies.

 Recommend one electrified pavilion at both PMI and Ross to support Nature. ◦ Could include aquariums, cold storage for bait, etc. ◦ Convert existing Nature Pavilion at Ross to other program. ◦ Existing PMI Pavilion could be modified. ◦ Consider Nature next to lake to support fishing program and use the secondary docks proposed.

 2013 ◦ Expand waste management contract to include recycling – approx $500 per camp for the season. ◦ Discretionary Income for Camp Staff – improve flexibility to address program needs. $500 per year per camp to start.  2014 ◦ Expand camp to 7 weeks ◦ Or build a third Webelos Camp ◦ Additional weeks bring in additional revenue ◦ Partnership programs reach whole new sources of revenue and promote staff opportunities
