See what we do

Is my camp too small to work with you?

Great question! The answer is emphatically no. We have a very scalable model that creates value from the smallest of camps (but often biggest in heart) all the way to very large camp operations. The beauty of a technology forward process is that we scale to the level that best meets the need presented, and our pricing model scales as well.

How do you charge?

I have a CPA. Do I have to get rid of them?

Do you work with non-profit camps?

Do I have to pay for an evaluation?

Nope! We perform a baseline evaluation of the current books and operations at no cost to any camp interested in working with us.

That said, we do offer a deep dive assessment solution for a fee that will give you a thorough road map and game plan should you be interested in a more comprehensive service such as that. Fill out our connect card to learn more about these services!

Hear from our camps

“Before our partnership with Bowline, our camp finances were a constant headache for myself and the team. It felt like we were just getting by and not maximizing the potential of more thoughtful accounting and financial forecasting. Bowline has come in and professionalized our processes and our overall financial picture. They have given us invaluable insights that have increased our efficiencies and saved us tens of thousands of dollars...."

Hear from our camps

(cont'd) "...Most importantly of all, the folks at Bowline are just good people- they understand the mission of camp and what we are about. To have that kind of missional alignment with our accounting team is priceless. Bowline gets camping! We cannot recommend them highly enough to any other camp looking to level up their financial outlook!” - Austin Ashcraft, Director | Camp Rockmont, NC
