Phase 2 Aggregate Report

The Growing Faith Together Project seeks to empower parents and caregivers in family faith formation by leveraging the power of camp experiences. The project is a 5-year, nationwide, cross-denominational initiative coordinated by Wheaton College’s Center for Leadership Development (HoneyRock) and generously funded by Lilly Endowment Inc.

The project seeks faith formation through partnership: partnership among parents/caregivers; partnership among camps, congregations, and the home; partnership among practitioners and the academy; partnership among different Christian traditions. We bring together scholars and practitioners from Lutheran, United Methodist, and Evangelical traditions, drawing experience from camp, clergy, and academia.

Thank you for your participation in the second phase of the Growing Faith Together project. Phase 2 seeks to collect longitudinal data over 4 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. Due to the timing of the second survey, the survey did not measure family faith practices. This metric will be a core component of the third survey. It does, however, measure parent perceptions, camper impact, and parent engagement with camp during the summer. This report contains the results of respondents from your camp, focusing on the post camp survey but providing some points of comparison with the pre camp survey where applicable. The report begins with an overview of the demographics of the respondents, and then presents the results of some of the primary metrics we explored in the survey.
