Growing Faith Together Reports List

This report includes data primarily from the third time point (three – four months after camp) and is intended to give some insight as to the longitudinal impact of camp. The data provided here attempt to address the following questions:

1. To what extent are parents engaging with camp and any resources it provides in the months following summer camp?
2. To what extent did parents’ beliefs about camp and its role in faith formation change over time?
3. To what extend did family faith practices change over time?
4. To what extent did leaders from partner churches engage with the camp experience and how did their views of camp change over time?

This project seeks to collect longitudinal data over four time points. This report includes data primarily from the second time point (post camp) and is intended to help inform your camps post summer evaluation process. It measures parent perceptions, camper impact, and parent engagement with camp during the summer.

Our analysis resulted in six themes, outlined in this report as “promising strategies.” Two of these strategies relate to camp philosophy, one each to the three key audiences identified in the study, and the final one to camp leadership.
