Camp Suitaro posts record income for fiscal year; town to order audit of revenue share
Summary
Camp Suitaro reported higher revenue and net income for FY2024, grant funding for mental health supports and accessibility improvements; the Select Board voted to commission an independent audit (CliftonLarsonAllen) after staff noted a typo in the revenue‑share line that will be corrected.
Camp Suitaro presented its audited financial statements to the Select Board on Dec. 3, reporting a stronger year driven by higher enrollment, an increased revenue share to the town and grant funding for mental‑health supports.
Scott Brody, representing Camp Suitaro, said overall revenue rose by roughly $400,000 and noted a reporting typo that overstated the revenue‑share line; he said the correct revenue‑share payment to the town was $12,692. Brody said the camp had used legislative grant funds to add counselor support and had invested in accessibility upgrades that were reflected across repair and grounds lines and capitalized items.
After discussion, the Select Board voted to commission an independent audit of Camp Suitaro’s financials; town staff solicited and recommended CliftonLarsonAllen to perform the work. Town Finance Director Victor Garofalo will meet with the auditor to scope fieldwork and timing; Brody said camp records are largely digitized and staff will cooperate.
Board members also asked the camp to correct the typo in the publicly posted report before it is posted online. The audit is intended to improve transparency around the town‑camp revenue‑share relationship and to address public questions raised at recent meetings.
What’s next: The town will finalize the contract with the audit firm and begin fieldwork; results will be reported back to the Select Board when available.
