Camps Needed to Help Develop Camp Quality
Assessment Tool
Camps from Michigan, upper Indiana, and
upper Ohio are needed for pilot sites for
one piece of the new Camp2Grow project
funded by Lilly Endowment. These camps
will serve as “observation” sites
to test a new tool being developed by ACA
and the Center for Youth Program Quality.
The only expectation for interested camps
is to be willing to have an outside “observer” visit
your camp for a day to watch staff-camper
interactions at a variety of camp activities.
If interested, please contact Deb Bialeschki
(dbialeschki@ACAcamps.org).
