Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Increased local community participation to 1-2 campers per session, and greater local audience draw/understanding with a Friday night public performance re late to all outcomes. Since Flourish is a wholly unique program, the mere existence of the camp in Fillmore County also provides access.Data collection (numbers of attendees, gifts of support), video recordings, surveys, interviews (post-project discussion) will help us measure program outcomes.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Our goal was to contribute to the creative growth of participating youth artistically, educationally and socially. This was accomplished by the very nature of Flourish Summer Camp.
