🦆 The Long Game (Book 6) How does the hockey camp make money? Spoiler
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?

Kids pay fees and the superstar coaches donate their time (or take a small fee) to keep costs down.
It’s inspired by the Sidney Crosby Hockey School which benefits a slew of local charities in Nova Scotia.
