ACHF Arts Access
Bemidji MusiCamp has three main goals: Provide an enjoyable musical learning experience to 5th-12th grade musicians throughout the state. Provide a high-quality culminating musical performance to people from throughout Minnesota. Inspire future commitment to or participation in the musical arts in both community members and students. Surveys used to evaluate our goals. Campers surveyed for goal 1 and 3a. Finale Concert audience surveyed for goal 2 and 3b. All ratings are 1-6. Camper: Rate how enjoyable camp was for you. Name something you learned at camp that you could teach to your own school/band. Do you plan on seeking additional musical activities in your school or community? Audience Sample: Rate the quality of the Finale Concert. Rate how likely you are to seek future musical opportunities in your community.
We feel that 100% of our three outcomes were met based on camper and audience surveys! Campers rated the enjoyability of camp with a mean of 5.3 (of 6) and 97% of campers surveyed were able to name something they could teach their own school/band. The majority of campers indicated that they would seek additional music opportunities. Audience members rated the quality of the finale concerts with a mean 5.5 (of 6) and most indicated they would seek future musical opportunities in their communities.
