“Take My Card and Do It!” Turning Summer Camp Spending Sprees into Financial Strategy

Breakout Block Three: Monday/3:00pm

Summer hits, campers arrive, and suddenly it’s chaos-meets-cashflow - “take my card and do it!” In this upbeat, story-driven session, Dave Kersting shows camp owners how to turn that seasonal spending spree into a sustainable, year-round financial strategy. He’ll reveal why summer camps and construction companies share the same financial DNA, and how tools like job costing, seasonal forecasting, and clean reporting can transform the way camps budget and make decisions.

Dave will also walk through when to rely on your P&L, Balance Sheet, and Trial Balance for real-time clarity, how depreciation and tax planning can calm the chaos, and what it takes to eventually sell your camp without private equity, preserving your mission, values, and legacy.
