ACA Outcomes Research Study 2002 - American Camping Association - Brief Article

Camping Magazine, May, 2002

The following camps make up the representative sample that will be in the first half of the ACA Outcomes Research Study in 2002. A similar sized sample will be chosen from the rest of the U.S. for the summer of 2003. This study is designed to quantify the outcomes achieved by campers as a result of camp experiences and to identify the camp program elements that appear to be most closely related to high outcome achievement. This is part of a multi-year study, supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment.

Our appreciation is expressed to these camps for their participation!
