Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The final program measures number of performers and attendees that raises the type and number of arts opportunity. Our commitment to inclusion addresses financial and social barriers.Parents submit stories that shed light on how students carry program ethics into their lives. Data collection puts numbers in stark relief. A tenth anniversary reunion of campers and staff will include a forum for expressing and documenting program impact on individual lives.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We evaluate both on staff and camper/parent levels. Both staff and campers clamor for more time, particularly in the interest of getting to know the farm and its operation better.
