Spring 2009 Enrollment Survey Results


New Outcomes Scales Cover Problem Solving and Camper Connectedness
Interested in the new outcomes scales being developed this summer on problem-solving/decision-making and camper connectedness to camp? We are recruiting up to eight camps that are willing to have a minimum of seventy-five campers (ten to seventeen years old) complete the pilot versions for just one of the scales. It will take campers about ten minutes to complete and can be done anytime within the last three days of any session. As a thank you, pilot camps will receive a free copy of both new scales when finalized in late fall! If interested in piloting a scale, contact Deb Bialeschki at dbialeschki@ACAcamps.org. A special "Thank You" is extended to the Not-for-Profit Council for continuing to support this ongoing effort to develop strong outcomes measures for all camps.
