OMC Compensation Survey 2026

General Camp Questions

Thank you for taking time to complete this survey. It will give you and your ministry colleagues valuable information on our outdoor ministry sites. This is a first-of-its kind survey, bringing together camps and conference centers affiliated with Outdoor Ministries Connection to benefit the entire industry. Please read each question carefully and answer it to the best of your ability. If a question doesn't pertain to you, simply skip it. This survey module focuses on camp finances, specifically compensation for various positions. The more camps that respond, the better information we will be able to provide camp boards and directors. A camp director should be able to complete this survey with the aid of the end-of-year profit/loss report and a detailed annual budget.

All of your answers will be strictly confidential; individual camp data will not be available to any organization, including OMC leadership. Only aggregate data will be available to OMC and its affiliates. We ask for your camp/conference center name so that we can track the data and avoid duplicate responses. We are hoping for one response per camp/conference organization. If you pause in the middle, you should be able to come back and complete the survey if you follow the same link and use the same device.

If you have any questions about how to complete the survey, you may contact Jake Sorenson at Sacred Playgrounds: 608-352-6545 or jake@sacredplaygrounds.com.
