The curriculum scaffolds youth learning through a series of hands-on activities within a particular topic area. It is designed to enrich a variety of camp programs including day, resident, and science camps, as well as outdoor education programs. The sessions and activities can be used as stand-alone or in conjunction with others to build vertical and/ or horizontal progression within your camp program. The activities are generally appropriate for youth ages nine and older, though some activities target a more specific age range. Within each session the content is tied to the Next Generation Science Standards, and for each activity the science abilities targeted are outlined. As campers, counselors, camp staff, camp directors, and administrators, the authors sought to make these activities easy to use for youth and adult counselors alike. The curriculum was carefully written, tried, and tested in a variety of camp programs. Camper and camp staff input was instrumental in refining the activities to ensure that they are fun and engaging for the campers and help to develop critical science interest, skills, and abilities."--Preface.
Download or read book Shaping Summertime Experiences written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For children and youth, summertime presents a unique break from the traditional structure, resources, and support systems that exist during the school year. For some students, this time involves opportunities to engage in fun and enriching activities and programs, while others face additional challenges as they lose a variety of supports, including healthy meals, medical care, supervision, and structured programs that enhance development. Children that are limited by their social, economic, or physical environments during the summer months are at higher risk for worse academic, health, social and emotional, and safety outcomes. In contrast, structured summertime activities and programs support basic developmental needs and positive outcomes for children and youth who can access and afford these programs. These discrepancies in summertime experiences exacerbate pre-existing academic inequities. While further research is needed regarding the impact of summertime on developmental domains outside of the academic setting, extensive literature exists regarding the impact of summertime on academic development trajectories. However, this knowledge is not sufficiently applied to policy and practice, and it is important to address these inequalities. Shaping Summertime Experiences examines the impact of summertime experiences on the developmental trajectories of school-age children and youth across four areas of well-being, including academic learning, social and emotional development, physical and mental health, and health-promoting and safety behaviors. It also reviews the state of science and available literature regarding the impact of summertime experiences. In addition, this report provides recommendations to improve the experiences of children over the summertime regarding planning, access and equity, and opportunities for further research and data collection.
