Why the Model Works Financially

Summer camps generate the highest revenue per hour of effort in the Jump Start system.
Staff is the largest expense - and it only runs during camp season.
Marketing and admin costs are manageable against a full teacher or coach salary.
Registration revenue begins flowing in January - up to 6 months before camp begins.
You keep your primary income while building the business.
A proven, repeatable path to 6-figure summer income.
