Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the school age kids at Kittson Central will have new motivation and intensions to diversify their out of school activities to include art Evaluation will occur through interviews with students and evaluation forms for students and parents The number of students who come to Camp Art who could not in the past because of conflicts with sports will also be a way to evaluate the success of this

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because of Covid, Camp Art was scheduled in August. There were no sports practices or camps in August that affected Camp Art. Kids were able to attend Camp Art this year and add art to the list of things they love to do! New kids joined us to try out Camp Art. The kids who have attended in the past but needed to leave early or come late because of games or practice were able to stay at the camp the entire time. I found willing teen volunteers who could make Camp Art work in their schedule.
