Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We administer a survey to assess the parent's perception of their child's experience and how the program affected them. In response to the survey, parents/guardians reported that: the program was safe for their child; the program provided an outlet for their child to develop more relationships with peers and adults; their child's social skills improved; their child's attitude about their community improved; the program provided an opportunity for children who would otherwise not have a structured summer activity. Attendance is another indicator of success. On average we attain 78% attendance (an average of 68 youths per day). Youth campers also demonstrate new interpersonal skills, and our junior and senior group leaders develop individual goals for themselves, which are evaluated throughout the program. Each week, staff process the week's events and they discuss each participant's interests, abilities, relations to staff and other participants, and goals for the upcoming weeks. This results in purposeful opportunities tailored to the needs of the situation and designed to engage the individual participants.
