In Kind Gifts:
We rely on in-kind donations and work hours from volunteers every year. Our two boards, Camp Winnataska Alumni Club, and hundreds of other volunteers contribute over 34,000 hours each year. The estimated dollar value of volunteer time is just over $23 per hour (from the Independent Sector’s value of volunteer hour of work), amounting to a total of $785,450 each year. We get in-kind space donated from First Baptist Church and Pearce, Bevill, Leesburg, and Moore (both in Birmingham), and we also receive gifts of vehicles, equipment, horses, and more.
 
Summer Directors, Nurses, Leaders, Volunteers = 29,500 hours
CW Board of Directors = 1,100 hours
FOW Board of Directors = 550 hours
Camp Winnataska Alumni Club = 1,500 hours
Graphic Artist, Legal, and CPA Volunteers = 1,500 hours
