The value of the camp experience in the positive
development of our young people has been
a focus of ACA research for the past several
years. The information collected from over
100 camps and thousands of campers has become
the foundation for two new resources. These
resources, Creating
Positive Youth Outcomes and the Youth
Camp Outcomes Questionnaires,
help camps focus on how to reach desired
outcomes and tools to help measure outcome
levels.
Creating Positive
Youth Outcomes
A
8-step process for program evaluation
to help you increase positive youth
outcomes. A book and resource CD
include: the evaluation outline,
examples of goals and objectives
you might target, a facilitator's
guide for training staff, copy-ready
checklists and worksheets, forms
for refining targeted outcomes, and
youth survey tools designed and used
by ACA for youth outcomes research. |
Youth
Camp Outcomes Questionnaires
Youth Camp Outcomes
Questionnaires offer camps measures
that focus on seven outcomes common
to the camp experience. The statistically
tested questionnaires are camp specific,
age-appropriate, easily administered
tools that can be individualized to
your camp. |
