Today, Kanakuk Ministries remains under the decades-long leadership of Joe White, and his wife Debbie-Jo, Vice President, who inherited their roles from Joe’s parents in the 1970s.

Former Director Pete Newman went to prison in 2010 for sexually abusing boys at the camp. Some believe that the abuse goes much further than just Newman but non-disclosure agreements made by some family members prevent further investigation.

In fact, some churches, in light of possible new allegations, have canceled contracts with Kanakuk Kamps for hosting their children’s summer camps.

In February 2022, a court awarded almost $30 million to the victims of sexual assault and abuse at the camps.

Kanakuk Kamps maintains a corporate office in Branson, Missouri.

PBS Kids Corporate Office

Under the original PBS label, the company had always run children’s programming, such as Mister Roger’s Neighborhood and Sesame Street.

However, in 1994, the company decided to place all children’s shows under one channel. On July 11, 1994, PBS repackaged their existing children’s educational programming as a new block called “PTV”, airing on 11 member stations at launch.

On September 6, 1999, PBS launched the 24-hour PBS Kids television network.^[12] The separate PBS Kids Network was available on high-tier subscription providers and was also offered to PBS member stations for use on a “cablecast” service or for use on the member station’s free-to-air analog channel to provide a portion of the daytime PBS Kids programming on the station.

Participating stations were required to pay an annual fee of $1,000 to use the feed.

The company received a $961,000 grant to start a Super Why Reading Camp in Arizona in May 2022.

The public television station’s PBS Kids SUPER WHY Camp is an early literacy, evidence-based pre-kindergarten summer school transition program for 4- and 5-year-old students with little or no preschool experience in targeted low-income communities.

The popular kids show Arthur is slated to be scrapped at the end of 2022 after running for 25 seasons.

PBS Kids maintains a corporate office in Arlington, Virginia.

Fisher-Price Corporate Office

Fisher-Price was founded in 1930 by Herman Fisher and Irving Price, along with several other family members. In 1931, three of the founders took some of their wooden toys to the American International Toy Fair. The first toy sold in 1931 was Dr. Doodle, which was a pull toy duck.

The company has created over 5,000 toys since 1932. One of the best selling toys is the “Little People” collection, which includes a variety of workers, children, even dogs. Fisher-Price continues to expand the Little People line with Christmas figures, such as elves, and popular characters from Lord of the Rings.

The company has recently had innovations with electronic infant toys, such as a “laptop”, that can help with early computer skills.

Toymaker Mattel purchased the company in 1993. Today, many Mattel toys are labeled under the Fisher-Price name.

Fisher-Price had $1.7 billion in annual revenue in 2017 and employs more than 4,000 persons full time.

The company maintains a corporate office in East Aurora, New York.

Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park Corporate Office

Michael Browning imagined a place where kids could play safely indoors while parents had space to work or relax. Urban Air Adventure Park was founded in 2011 in Grapevine, Texas.

From a single location, the company now has over 65 locations that feature climbing walls, warrior obstacle courses, tube playgrounds, ropes courses, trapezes, spinning-and-flipping bumper cars, and trampolines.

The company had $166 million in revenue in 2018 and CEO Browning says he expects to clear $2.5 million in profit. Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2018 list of the “Franchise 500” placed Urban Air at No. 97 based on growth, financial strength, and stability out of more than 1,000 entries in this year’s competition.

Urban Air books 700-1,000 birthday parties every day. In early November 2019, one 10-year-old attending a birthday party fell from a zip line ride, breaking several bones.

In 2022/2023, the company continues to open new locations at a rapid pace, including Saginaw, Michigan, Rockford, Illinois, and Long Island, New York.

The company has headquarters in Milltown, New Jersey.

Lego Corporate Office

The Lego Group, commonly known as Lego, was founded in 1932 by Ole Christiansen in Denmark. The Danish word Lego means play well. The company is the world’s largest toy maker (in terms of revenue), outselling even Mattel. In 2016, the company had annual revenue of $4.2 billion.

The company is known for making plastic “bricks” that stick together to build almost anything a child’s imagination can dream up. The original bricks were made of wood, but were switched to plastic after WWII. The company also has 4 amusement parks around the world, called LegoLand. One of these is located in Carlsbad, California. There is also a LegoLand Water Park located in the state of Florida.

Lego has admitted that they are aware of the problems their product causes in terms of environmental damage. The company has taken steps to reduce waste, recycle waste, and create their own source of electricity via wind turbines.
