TYME OUT Youth Center Restructures Summer Programming

The TYME OUT Board of Directors recently recommended changes to summer programming offered by the center including the elimination of some of its summer camps.  The recommendation, based on a review of attendance and financial trends, is aimed at maximizing TYME OUT's ability to accomplish its mission of character development and faith formation. 

 Ultimately, the Board of Directors determined that the current model of summer programming was not sustainable.   TYME OUT staff is currently studying the development of new programs which leverage TYME OUT's significant faith formation expertise.

 Additional details for your information:   

• The primary change will involve the week-long residential summer camp programs.  Though the full program as previously run will not take place during the 2010 summer, the possibility of retaining specific week-long camps offered in previous years has not been ruled out.   
• The Grandparents and Grandkids programs will continue to be offered during the summer of 2010.  
• The decision to reconfigure TYME OUT's summer programming is one of stewardship, and focuses our ministry efforts to pursue the most effective means of mission delivery. 
• 31% of TYME OUT's total annual financial resources were being allocated to run our summer camps which served just 3% of TYME OUT's total population. To be good stewards of TYME OUT's financial resources, the board determined changes needed to be made.
• TYME OUT is committed to helping families of campers to find other options during the 2010 summer season.  For assistance, please contact our staff at 262-966-1800. 
  
• Overall, TYME OUT Youth Center is financially sound.  In fact, we intend to continue to expand our impact on youth faith formation through wise stewardship of resources, growth of key partnerships and potential expansion of other mission-centered programming.
