About Cathedral of the Pines Inc

The EIN 41-0687261 has been verified as Cathedral of the Pines Inc., the legal entity that operates Cathedral of the Pines Camp as a ministry of Mount Olivet (mailing/administrative ties in Minneapolis, MN) with its physical camp on Caribou Lake in Lutsen, Minnesota. The organization is an active 501(c)(3) with a long history of summer camping ministry dating back to the mid-20th century and continues to run multi-week seasonal programming for children, youth, adults, and families.

In recent years Cathedral of the Pines Camp has maintained robust program activity and financial stability: it runs a multi-week camping season (capacity roughly 250 people per week across youth and family sessions), reports serving over 2,000 participants annually, and files annual Form 990s showing program-driven revenue and net assets consistent with an operating donor-facing nonprofit. Leadership continuity is evident (camp leadership includes long-serving staff such as the camp director), and the camp continues to publish camper handbooks, volunteer guidance, and seasonal schedules on its official site.
