Abstract Details

The camp experience has been an important part of children's lives for over 150 years. Unfortunately, insight from parents about opportunities for youth growth and development has not been systematically documented. Rather, more research exists concerning the value and benefits of camp experience from the perspective of camp staff and camper. PEAK (Playful Education & Adventure for Kids) Camp is accredited by American Camp Association, and it was in its 14th years in 2014. There has been no documented research about a PEAK Camp outcome study. The purpose of this study is to examine parents' perception of their children's summer camp experience in relation to attributes of youth development. This study utilized an online pre-test and post-test questionnaire to survey the PEAK Summer Camp 2014 parents' perception to measure outcomes in six areas: Friendship Skills, Independence, Teamwork, Perceived Competence, Responsibility, and Problem-Solving Confidence.
