Our Values
What Fuels Our Approach in Serving Camps
Leading by Serving
We believe that in the same way camps lead campers through service, we lead our clients by serving their leaders, owners, and teams.
Campers First
We filter each decision we make for our camps through a simple question: does this serve the camp well, and therefor serve the campers?
Innovate
We believe that the highest use of your time, talent, and resources is focusing on campers. We innovate in order to win back that time for you.
Better
We believe in "better", not status quo. We work to that end by constantly evaluating areas of improvement and implementing solutions.
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?
We don't believe in a "one size fits all" model. We individually assess and create a service model that meets the needs of each camp in a unique way, and as such will provide a monthly fixed fee proposal based on that scope of work.
I have a CPA. Do I have to get rid of them?
No way! While we have a very efficient system for handling tax matters, we are happy to work alongside your current CPA providing them all the info and books they need to serve you well. Our focus is first and foremost operational efficiency and improvements to the everyday back office, an area most traditional CPA's don't typically focus. We are a complimentary service to them.
Do you work with non-profit camps?
Not only do we work with non-profits, but we have a specialist on our team just for them! We love working with non-profit camps and have a intricate understanding of the complexities that arise when working with them.
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!
Do you replace UltraCamp or Campminder?
We do not. We actually work to use the features and data in these platforms to enhance data flow to camp decision makers for performance reporting and planning.

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
