Workgroup Information Positive Youth Development through 4-H Camp Experiences |
|
| $4,800 | |
| Summary | Thousands of young people spend time in camp settings each year. Only recently have researchers begun to explore the impact of these programs on youth and to question how elements in the camp environment influence social, emotional, intellectual and psychological development. In the 2005-06 fiscal year, the California 4-H Camping Task Force successfully completed the first stage in a statewide study to measure the impact of 4-H camp programs, and to contribute to our understanding of camp’s role in positive youth development. The team also developed the Camp Risk Management Workbook, a comprehensive document to insure safe, well-run camp programs. The Task Force will share this Risk Management Workbook and 2005 California 4-H camp evaluation findings with 4-H staff, volunteers and youth at two training conferences, the first to be held May 5-7 at Grizzly Creek Ranch in Portola. A second training is slated for November at Lake Arrowhead in Southern California. |
