FAQ

What work fits NAICS 721214?
  • Operate a seasonal residential youth summer camp including bunks, meal service, structured outdoor activities, certified counselors, and routine camp maintenance.
  • Run multi-day recreational retreat programs that include lodging, on-site meals, scheduled instructional activities, safety supervision, and equipment staging.
  • Provide specialized outdoor skills or wilderness expedition camps with training-qualified staff, risk management plans, and participant gear management.
  • Manage camp facilities year-round including housing operations, food service delivery, sanitation, and program scheduling for recurring group reservations.
When is NAICS 721214 a weak fit?
  • Campground or RV park operations: long-term campsite leasing, individual utility hookups, and dispersed campsite management are functions of campground management, not recreational camp operation.
  • Construction or renovation of camp facilities: building cabins or upgrading infrastructure is construction work and not ongoing camp operation and program delivery.
  • Catering-only contracts: supplying meals without operating lodging, programming, and on-site camp facility management lacks the integrated camp operation element.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 721214?
  • Scope lists overnight capacity (number of bunks), daily meal counts, staff-to-participant ratios, background-check requirements, and defined seasonal operation windows.
  • Statement of work requires program schedules, activity leader certifications, first-aid and emergency response plans, and equipment staging lists.
  • Evaluation criteria request past performance operating camps of comparable capacity, health and safety compliance records, and camp participant satisfaction metrics.
