Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

20 students will be engaging their gifts through experiencing various arts learning and developing respect and friendship with peers from a variety of socio-economic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Over 90% will be experiencing the offered class topic for the first time.Tracking attendance will show how participants engage in the camp. Through surveys from four different groups (students, parent, teen helpers, and instructors), we will learn how this camp was successful and what things need to be improved for the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Of the 20 students participating in the music camp, 60% reported they had never had any previous experience with music lessons of any kind, and all students said they had improved in a skill area of which they themselves were proud.
