Helix Nature Theatre and Park rises up from the valley floor of San Diegos East County, Aptly called, The Crown Jewel of East County. The Mount Helix Nature Theatre and Park has been inspiring residents of southern California with its rugged beauty and scenic views since 1924. Perched atop Mt. Helix at an elevation of approximately 1300 feet, the historic park offers a spectacular 360-degree view of San Diego County. The park is open to the public 365 days a year. In addition to the park operations, the amphitheater is the site to free community programs, donation-based yoga classes, weddings and memorials, and the inspiring Easter Sunrise service. The park receives no government funding, meaning the tens of thousands of visitors who use the park annually do so thanks to 100 funding by the Mt. Helix Park Foundation. 383112 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false CA X Cheryl Lengyel 6197414363 4901 Mt Helix Drive La Mesa CA 91941 Krista Powers Executive Director 040.00 X 0 83500 7130 Norm Hapke Past President 010.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Kilrain CFO 010.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Ball Past President 002.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Clay Director 002.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Kardos Director 002.00 X 0 0 0 Alice W Smith Director 002.00 X 0 0 0 Don Teemsma Director 002.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Naire VP Development 002.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeremiah Shultz VP Operations 002.00 X X 0 0 0 Yvonne Goff Secretary 002.00 X X 0 0 0 Bruce Mclntyre Director 002.00 X 0 0 0 Wes Troy President 010.00 X X 0 0 0 Tracy Giordano Director 002.00 X 0 0 0 83500 7130 false false false 54082 96798 146048 296928 Park use 900099 58511 58511 58511 11331 11331 103759 103759 103759 36080 96798 47648 -11568 Other Income 900099 1585 1585 1585 460546 60096 11331 X 0 0 0 0 90630 67972 4532 18126 0 57419 40453 13315 3651 0 0 11426 8358 1418 1650 0 0 21775 21775 0 0 55522 47197 8325 7941 5559 1588 794 15891 11124 3178 1589 5434 3804 1087 543 0 13311 9318 2662 1331 0 0 0 0 0 50477 50477 9475 564 8830 81 Repairs and maintenance and landscaping 33659 33659 Dues and subscriptions 8860 6202 1772 886 Supplies 17342 17342 Equipment rental Shutle 62979 62979 31378 18104 8120 5154 493519 383112 76602 33805 10048 21523 424904 365795 3000 7400 3266366 439866 2794189 2826500 51664 51114 3291205 3264932 11938 15523 3060 14998 15523 X 941793 914995 2334414 2334414 3276207 3249409 3291205 3264932 -32973 6175 X false false false X 153592 358564 225739 337403 296928 1372226 153592 358564 225739 337403 296928 1372226 156938 1215288 877 471 2353 8687 11331 23719 91731 94483 97318 108820 103759 496111 17253 16141 68034 38567 37665 177660 2069716 253550 0.58720 0.53010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 104600 2000 2000 104600 104600 2000 2000 104600 104600 800 800 104600 104600 100 100 104600 104600 200 200 104600 1.00000 false false 2283976 2283976 202205 189620 12585 673050 214579 458471 100954 29486 71468 6181 6181 2826500 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Deposits heART 132878 96798 36080 9180 6550 31918 132878 96798 36080 9180 6550 31918 47648 -11568 Form 990, Part III, Line 1 The mission of the Mt.
