We wanted to make sure you knew about a new resource we are launching at GSB this spring. While it focuses on camps and outdoor ministries, Dave is also available to support other types of nonprofits and congregations.
On May 12, we are kicking off the Financial Management Cohort for Camp and Outdoor Ministry Leaders. This is a 12-month program designed specifically for people doing the work you do every day, led by GSB consultant Dave Jarvis, who spent 37 years as Executive Director of Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp and grew their annual fund to more than $600,000.
Here is what the cohort covers:
Over four gatherings held online every three months, participants will work through reading and monitoring financial statements, budgeting techniques, office procedures and internal controls, and building a congregational ambassador program for camp marketing. Between each gathering, Dave meets individually with participants for two one-hour sessions so you can apply what you are learning directly to your ministry before the next cohort begins.
You will leave the program with:
The skills to read and monitor your camp's finances with confidence. Policies and procedures that protect your people and your organization. And a practical plan for strengthening your relationship with the congregations you serve.
The full 12-month investment is $1,295.
If this sounds like the right next step for you or someone on your team, Dave is ready to connect
Cohort launches May 12, 2026. Don’t wait another year to learn these critical needs for your organization.
