Type of Evaluation: Outcomes Monitoring.

Objective: To assess program implementation and program effects on participants.

Impact/Outcomes: Roughly 60% of parent respondents strongly agreed with the following statements: the staff at the Center listen and respond to my concerns, questions and ideas; I am satisfied with my child's participation and progress in the camp; the atmosphere at the camp is warm and nurturing; I would recommend the program to my friends or relatives; and my child looks forward to coming to the camp.

 

 There is a fee for the camp but the program accepts children regardless of the families' ability to pay.
