Enrollment and regular attendance are indicators of success for the Summer Arts Camp; thus, the Summer Arts Camp will achieve its enrollment capacity of Fifty (50) children, and, overall, the camp will have an average attendance rate of at least 75%. Every enrolled child with regular (at least 50%) attendance will be exposed to and engage in all of the following creative arts disciplines over the two week period: visual arts (drawing, painting, sculpture), theater arts (acting, set design and fabrication, story creation, costume design and fabrication, dance), and music (rhythm and melody making). We will use participant enrollment and attendance data to measure the overall camp enrollment and the average attendance rate. We will use a combination of a photographic/video record and a brief orally administered survey of participants to document the immediate effects arts camp activities have on participants.
1) The attendance rate was 79%, exceeding the projected rate of 75%. 2) Camp enrollment lower than projected at 26. However, each child had more opportunities to participate and received more individual support and coaching. 3) A documentary filmmaking crew filmed the last three days of the arts camp; this material will serve as an even better photographic record than we originally hoped for.
