Youth Camp Outcomes Analysis Tools Available
This past summer, camps across the country
used ACA's new outcomes tools to
learn more about the ways in which the
camp experience made positive changes
in youth participants. If you were
one of those camps, don't forget
to take advantage of the Excel-based
analysis tools that ACA has developed.
For more information about these tools,
please visit

ACA Developing Affinity for Nature Measure
ACA
is currently developing a new outcome tool
that camp directors can use to assess how
the camp experience helps children to develop
a greater connection with nature. This
"affinity for nature" measure will soon
be available on ACA's Web site. Thanks
is extended to the Not-For-Profit Camps
Council for their generous support of this
project, and a special thank you goes to
the camps who assisted in the pilot testing:
Camp Foley, Camp Henry, Cheley Colorado,
Camps, Keyauwee Program Center - Girl Scouts,
Tarheel Triad Council, Sherwood Forest
Camp, and W. E. Skelton 4-H Educational
Conference Center. For more information
about children, nature, and the camp experience,
please visit http://www.acacamps.org/research/understand/nature.php.
