Preliminary Data From Year Three of the Healthy Camp Study

This summer ACA finished Year Three of the five-year Healthy Camp Study. A total of 177 camps reported data (an almost 20 percent increase over last year!). Most camps (80 percent) taking this survey reported being either very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the Healthy Camp Study. Several camps also reported having utilized the online courses as part of staff training, with over nine in ten camps that used these interventions saying they would recommend them to other camps. You can visit www.ACAcamps.org/einstitute/healthycamp to learn more about these courses. The day and resident camp reports will be completed over the next two-to-three months and mailed to participating camps in December. Special thanks to all camps who participated in Year Three. Don't forget, the opportunity to get involved in Year Four of the Healthy Camp Study is just around the corner. New camps are always welcome. Questions about the study should be directed to Barry Garst.
