About the Survey Data:

Social-Emotional Learning and Environmental Literacy

In 2022, Wildwood served 535 camper weeks, and asked campers to complete a paper survey on the last day of each camp session (Friday). Of the surveys received, 453 were legible. To measure the impact of camp and campers’ experience for different groups, surveys were matched to camp rosters and were subsequently anonymized.

The surveys were analyzed for camper growth in five areas: environmental literacy (particularly wanting to be outside and feeling connected to nature); responsible decision-making; self-management (being aware of and processing one’s emotions in a healthy way); relationship skills (conflict resolution, feeling connected to others); and social awareness (empathizing with others and reacting accordingly).

In total, 100 adults participated in feedback about Camp Wildwood.
