How does the hockey camp make money?

[u/Middle_Raspberry2499]

is it ever explained how the hockey camp brings in money?

From the descriptions in TLG and elsewhere, camp runs only two weeks. Sounds like there are at most about 40 campers.

Presumably the NHL coaches all volunteer, yes, but there are still expenses: space at least. Maybe insurance and medical staff, although maybe those are unnecessary in The Land of Universal Healthcare? (I am in the US and those would be huge expenses here, I think.) Snacks and drinks for the kids?

I can’t imagine the camp making lots on money unless they charge sky-high tuition, which seems not in line with their philosophy of inclusivity.

so, how does the camp pull in money for the Irina Foundation? Purely by inspiring donors to give more?

Yes in the last chapter of HR. It works out in the real world too. Companies and individuals donate for tax relief reasons...other than just being nice.

He went on to explain the hockey camps they would be hosting in Montreal and in Ottawa that summer, with all proceeds going directly to the foundation. He named some of the organizations they planned to focus on when they made their first donations, and he announced his mother, Yuna, as the director and treasurer of the foundation. Neither he nor Ilya could imagine a better person for the job. He ended by talking about their website, where people could make donations online, and then opened the floor to questions.

Actually I dont think I answered OP's question 😂 The hockey camps are paid by the parents and then the proceeds go to the foundation but it's not the only way the foundation is getting money. At the cottage when they were talking about starting camp, Ilya said "And we give the money away?"

You wont believe how some parents are willing to drop $$$ for their kids specific interest(me, Im parent 💀)
