Great camp moments don’t just happen; they’re built with intention. The Social and Emotional Learning Program Quality Assessment (SEL-PQA) for Camp is a practical tool that helps camps assess and strengthen the activities, rituals, and systems that support positive youth development.
During this session, you’ll learn what the SEL-PQA is and how your camp can use it to reflect on staff practices. When paired with ongoing support, it can help your camp build a lasting culture of learning and improvement. Hear directly from camp professionals at different stages of their SEL-PQA journeys as they share what motivated them to start and the changes they’ve seen at their camps.
