SUMMER
CAMP
At summer camp we measure a wide array of areas
ranging from "how much fun did you have?" to
questions that have deeper connection to our longterm impact. The results on this page are directly
correlated to our theory of change and numbers we
will track year over year. While we are proud to see
improvement in self-confidence, emotional
intelligence and interpersonal skills increase over the
summer - we recognize these are lifelong skills. Good
thing our retention rate at summer increases each
year!

This metric is tied to our impact goal of
connecting people of all backgrounds. While
coming to camp with a friend from school can
put a kid at ease and feel more comfortable up
front - it is our goal to make sure we are
connecting kids with their new group teammates
as well. Our games are designed to be inclusive
and encourage organic connection and new,
creative ways of pairing teams and groups.
This metric is tied to fostering a positive sense of
self in kids. First, at camp we pride ourselves in
providing new and exciting experiences each
summer. Second, we create an inclusive,
encouraging and inviting environment that
encourages our kids to try new activities. We
believe in fostering curiosity and design our
activities as non-elimination so kids are less
afraid to fail and more brave to step up to the
plate!

I AM GOOD AT SPORTS.

This metric is again tied to fostering a positive
sense of self as well as providing a better way to
play. We believe that skill progression is the
definition of being 'good' at sports. It is not
necessarily about being the best on the court or
field - but it is about celebrating the first time you
get the tennis ball over the net, first time you
catch a fly ball or the first time you finish running
the mile without stopping. We encourage our
coaches to celebrate the small victories and
watch the self-confidence grow!
This metric is tied to forming impactful
relationships. Kids have always been notorious
for their innate ability to make friends on the
playground. However, we have seen through the
2-year pandemic and lack of social interaction
that those skills built naturally at school and on
the playground are delayed. We are excited to
watch this number continue to grow as we come
out of the pandemic and continue to provide
welcoming environments to foster life-long
friendships.
