Advisory HQ
The camp, the land, the program.
One decision.
Selling the camp, buying the property next door, or handing it to the next generation of your family. We help you see what the camp, the land, and the next twenty summers are worth, and stay with you through the transition.
- Who it is for
- Camp owners and families weighing a sale, a purchase, or a succession.
- On its own?
- Yes. You do not have to move your accounting to us to do this work with us.

Valuation and readiness
Decisions measured in decades, not months.
A camp gets valued badly when only tuition counts. We look at sessions, day camp, offseason rentals, retreats, timber and pasture leases, the land, and the condition of the cabins, then show you what a buyer will see.
If the camp is not ready to sell yet, we tell you what to fix first and how long that usually takes.
Diligence support
The questions asked before the signature.
On either side of a sale, we organize the financials, explain the seasonal swings that confuse outside buyers, and answer the questions about deposits, refunds, and staff costs that only camp people know to ask.
Transition and succession
What happens the summer after.
A family succession can take several seasons. We plan the handoff of the finances, the bank relationships, and the decisions, so the next generation knows the numbers before they own them.
What we put in front of you
The whole camp, on one page.
01
Every revenue line
Sessions, day camp, rentals, retreats, and leases, each shown on its own.
02
The property
Land, buildings, waterfront, and the repairs coming due.
03
The program
Enrollment by session, returning campers, and staff costs.
04
The range
What the camp could reasonably be worth, and what moves that number.
Any value estimate we share is a planning tool, not an appraisal.
