Ministry is about impact. It's what we hope for, plan for, program for, recruit for, market for, evaluate for, and pray for. It's maybe the one thing that aligns the entire outdoor ministry industry. We may not even define impact in the same way (fyi, we don't!). Yet, we're aligned in that our deepest foundational mission is to impact lives for the sake of the Gospel.

So how do we measure impact? We assess outcomes, and that's what we're breaking down on this episode. We've taken multiple data sets and layered the learnings to identify 3 major factors that affect camper outcomes, in particular, outcomes that last beyond camp.

Plus we've got a quick qamp question about camp becoming church, and be sure to download this episode's #StatOfTheWeek!
