Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the students will be open to new experiences beyond community and school sponsored sports because the timing of Camp Art will not conflict with sports schedules. Evaluation will occur using questionnaires, interviews and organic conversations with artists, students and parents.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Children with a wide variety of interests were able to come to Camp Art this year and try something new to some and well-known and loved by others. The majority of the kids rated Camp Art with the highest possible rating. Parents of those children were similarly pleased by the camp. Both parents and students are looking forward to the possibility of attending Camp Art again next summer.
