Abstract

Interest in both the objective dimension and the subjective dimension of summer camp experiences has grown among camp scholars. As a building block for understanding subjective elements of summer camp experiences, discrete defining moments may provide insights into linkages between what program providers deliver and the experiences that youth receive. This study identified defining moments of summer camp experiences and examined when defining moments occurred, using interviews conducted with 21 youth in early adolescence immediately following camp. Themes derived from the data suggest that moments involving novelty, challenge, friend-making, tradition, achievement, positivity, and emotional safety are most salient. Practitioners can use the study findings to more intentionally design memorable and meaningful summer camp experiences. Researchers can build on these exploratory findings to examine defining moments of camp experiences across other samples of camp participants. Subscribe to JOREL
夏令营经历的决定性时刻:青少年早期的探索性研究
夏令营学者们对夏令营体验的客观维度和主观维度都越来越感兴趣。作为理解夏令营体验的主观因素的基石,离散的定义时刻可以提供对项目提供者提供的内容和青少年获得的体验之间联系的见解。本研究确定了夏令营经历的决定性时刻,并检查了决定性时刻发生的时间,使用对21名青少年在夏令营结束后立即进行的访谈。从数据中得出的主题表明,涉及新奇、挑战、交友、传统、成就、积极和情感安全的时刻最为突出。实践者可以利用研究结果更有意地设计令人难忘和有意义的夏令营体验。研究人员可以在这些探索性发现的基础上,通过其他营地参与者的样本来检查营地经历的决定性时刻。订阅JOREL
