Week 3 Continued

I got so much accomplished today! :).  I've finished all but one element of the statistics project.  I also updated my learning plan, and revised the list of students involved with Youth Leadership.

I stayed late on Monday to attend a very interesting board meeting.  Only 7 people were present, but almost everyone had a contribution.  The members talked about a Wellness program (because we have an Americorps intern creating new programs and partnering with more agencies), and Tim talked a lot about the Camper Interview Surveys issued at the end of summer camp.  He would like to make the surveys that the camp issued this past summer better, more valid, and more reliable (Not that the surveys are terrible now, but they're always looking to be better).  I let the board know that I'm studying the topics of program evaluation and that  I am willing to make it a project of mine.  

We had a discussion about long-range program goals as well.  Some of the main goals they talked about were: more family involvement--possibly having a subcommittee to specialize in events or outreaches to get more family involvement; putting in a lake; install a zip-line for the high ropes course; add four elements to the center pole of the high ropes course; using the extra land (currently fallow farming fields) for a lake or "remote" camping.  Cool, huh?
