prepare a budget for the Blue Bird Summer Camp with the following assumptions:

a) capacity of camp 45 campers per session for 3x three-week sessions and 1x two-week sessions.

b) can run four camps per summer (3x three weeks + 1x two weeks)

c) previous years campers were charged $450 per session

d) find relevant staffing costs for 16 weeks of summer, how many staff do you require (there are one-week setup, one-week teardown, and empty days in between camp sessions)

e) include operating expenses like utilities, insurance, maintenance (also need to cover off-season)

f) marketing budget

e) find other revenue streams that would be realistic (fundraising, grants?)

The budget is expected to be realistic and the assumptions that you use will be tested against real-world expectations, so don’t budget for staff that makes less than minimum wage or expect gas for your vehicle to be less than $1 a liter. Ensure that the figures add up correctly.

Along with the budget, please provide a half-page explanation of your budget defending your numbers.
