## Summary

The Southern Utah Code Camp homepage, captured 2026-08-12 — three months before the November 2026
event it advertises. It carries the format, the dates, the venue, the funding model, and, in a single
line of footer text, **the organizing entity**, which is stated nowhere else on the site.

## Useful Claims

- Code Camp 2026 runs **Friday, November 13 to Saturday, November 14, 2026**, preceded by a
  **Pre-Flight meeting on Thursday, November 12** where rules are finalized and teams formed.
- The 2026 event is **hosted at Vasion, on Tech Ridge** — Vasion's campus is in St. George.
- The format is a **24-hour** contest for **teams of one to four**, building "the best web or mobile
  app", framed as programming, design, **and entrepreneurship** together.
- **The event is organized and run by Tech Threads, INC.**
- It is **funded entirely by sponsors**, and the organizers state that every sponsored dollar goes to
  the participant experience — meals, prizes, shirts, and venue cost.
- The organizers describe the format as one "we've run for years", indicating a recurring event rather
  than a first edition.
- The site advertises past work ("Code Champions") and a sponsor roster, so prior editions produced
  completed projects and attracted sponsors.

## Reliability Notes

Self-reported tier — the organizers describing their own event, partly in a sponsorship-pitch register.
It establishes the **advertised** plan, not an outcome.

Three limits:

- **The page was captured before the event.** Nothing here shows the November 2026 edition took place,
  who sponsored it, or who won.
- **No attendance figure appears anywhere on the homepage** — not for 2026 and not for prior years.
  The claim that the format has run "for years" is unaccompanied by any count of editions or
  participants, and no founding year is given.
- **"Tech Threads, INC" is a name, not a verified registration.** It is stated by the organizers in
  their own footer, and no corporate filing corroborating it has been located. It is absent from the
  IRS Utah exempt-organization data, which is consistent with a for-profit entity but proves nothing
  on its own.

The venue detail is independently useful: Vasion's Tech Ridge campus in St. George also appears in
this corpus via [3Helix](3helix.md), so the same building anchors more than one entry.
