What George Young Recreational Complex does
Mission
The George Young Recreational Complex is organized exclusively for charitable purposes, including, for the purpose of lessening the burden on government, to provide public recreational facilities through the operation of a recreational complex for the benefit of the public. During the tax year the complex continued its recreational activities and its indoor swimming program. It continued to sponsor cross country ski programs in the winter and hiking and golf related activities in the summer. It offers golf and driving range facilities open to the public at low or reduced costs with free golf for those under the age of 18. During the year it also offered four free community events: halloween, lunch with santa, winterfest and the easter egg hunt. The complex also offers a free meeting place for fellow not for profit orzanizations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The Complex is located in a remote area of the Upper Pennisula of Michigan. It provides a limited menu of food and drinks to those engaging in activities at the complex including those who may be camping next door at Pentoga Park or renting the historic cabin located on the Complex premises. The golf course has a beverage cart that is staffed on weekends and during holidays. The dining/bar area provides refreshments to golfers, swimmers, hikers, cross-country skiers and others enjoying recreational activities at the complex or in the general area.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $372k to $100k (−73%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 11% · 2021 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
