CALL TO ACTION – International Camp Staff Issue |
|
 Your
advocacy is needed by November 23, 2009! The U.S. Department of State has issued
proposed changes to the J1 Visa program. J1 Visas are the most common type
of Visa granted for international camp counselors. The proposed rule changes
would have a negative impact on the camp community's ability to use international
staff. Find out the details and advocate today. |

an Evaluation Plan that Works for You AND Your Staff! |

 ACA’s
Outcomes Tools can help you be intentional! Training staff in evaluation isn’t
as easy as riding a bike, but it also doesn’t have to be a chore. Now
is the time to create a proactive plan for evaluating camper outcomes before
next summer arrives. ACA’s Creating
Positive Youth Outcomes Workbook was written by camp and evaluation professionals
and tested with camp staff. Learn how to engage staff in a simple eight-step
process and teach them how their behaviors can lead to specific positive changes
in campers. The workbook also comes with a CD with free copies of ACA’s
youth outcomes scales (from ACA’s popular Youth
Outcomes Battery, valued
at $25 member/$75 nonmember). An online version of the workbook content is
also available through ACA’s e-Institute. |
