Goddard-Riverside Educational Camp Program, School Year 1975-1976.
Robin, Fay
The Goddard-Riverside Educational Camp Program is a combination community center camp-city school program for New York City school children. Four hundred eighty fifth graders participated in the program. Groups of students with their teachers and program staff spent one week at the Goddard-Riverside Camp in upstate New York. As part of the program, extensive pre and post camp activities took place in the classroom and at cultural centers in New York City throughout the school year. This evaluation report concluded that participants in the program demonstrated significant increases in knowledge of scientific concepts. Significant improvement in written English was also achieved. Observations, interviews, and student journals were used as evidence that this program stimulated interests and motivated learning in natural sciences and other academic areas. A sample from the test used to measure progress is included in the appendix. (Author/JP)
