Workgroup Information Positive Youth Development through 4-H Camp Experiences |
|
| Summary | Organized camp programs have served children for more 150 years and, other than school, touch more lives than any other youth-serving institution. Camp is not just a place, but an experience that encourages skill development, social interaction, personal growth, connection with the natural world, and meaningful engagement for young people. The camp environment influences social, emotional, intellectual, psychological and physical development in powerful ways. The ANR Positive Youth Development through 4-H Camp Experiences Workgroup conducts research in the field and provides education and resources to support safe, positive youth development experiences at 4-H camps throughout the state. Camp related research has grown in quantity, scope and rigor in the last 10 years and 4-H, both statewide and nationally, has made rich contributions to the field. In 2007, the workgroup successfully completed Beyond Evaluation: Findings from the California Camp Study and has embarked on a second research project in 2012 measuring outcomes of the camp experience. Findings from the first study led to the book Counselor-In-Training: Encouraging Youth Development Outcomes at Camp (Healthy Learning, 2010). Other resources the group has produced or is developing: * California 4-H Camp Safety Guidebook * Science, Engineering and Technology activities for camp settings * California Camping Conferences (next scheduled 2014) * Camp Administrator Assessment and Resource Bank |
