Question 1

How do buyers value owned land and waterfront?

Accepted Answer

Land is often the largest balance-sheet asset. We value the operating business and the real estate separately so you understand both — and decide whether to sell together, lease back, or separate the real estate as a long-term asset.

Question 2

Can I sell if I'm the camp director?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We document leadership bench, returning staff systems, and brand standards, and we structure a transition (often a multi-summer earnout or advisory role) so the camp culture survives the change.

Question 3

What's the typical timeline to sell?

Accepted Answer

From engagement to close is usually 6–10 months. Most founders coordinate to close between fall and spring so the buyer takes operational control before the next summer.

Question 4

Will my returning staff and directors keep their jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — returning staff are a core asset and the reason families come back. Buyers want them. We screen for buyers committed to retention and negotiate retention terms for senior leadership.
