Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

150 girls, ages 8-16, will improve their instrument proficiency, gain music and lyric writing skills, and increase their live performance ability. Every music class and band practice has goals for the students. Teachers will indicate at the end of each class if students met the goals. Every student will perform a concert to display their skills.

Measurable Outcome(s)

190 girls, ages 8-16, improved their instrument and songwriting ability and performed in a showcase. 88% of campers met all learning goals. We used a survey that every teacher filled out at the end of the day. On the survey, they indicated if their students met all their learning goals that were set in our curriculum. Also, students took surveys that indicated their musical and personal achievements they made at camp. Parents filled out surveys that asked questions on the musical and personal achievements that their child made. Lastly, we had staff meetings every day at camp that helped us improve programming on a day to day basis.
