The National Inclusive Camp Practices (NICP) project was a national study of inclusive outdoor programs that examined outcomes for youth with and without disabilities. This paper reports qualitative findings that were gathered using case study methodology across 14 inclusive programs: 12 resident camp programs and 2 outdoor schools. At each site, six case study subjects were selected: three youth with disabilities and three youth without disabilities, matched by gender, age, and cabin. The subjects ranged in age from 6 to 19; 60 percent were male. Counselor and parent interviews for each subject examined growth in social interaction, communication, responsibility, self-reliance, self-esteem, recreational participation, skill achievement, self help, and respect for others. For youth with disabilities, 87 percent of their counselors and 80 percent of their parents reported positive growth in one or more areas of development. Youth without disabilities also experienced growth, with 84 percent of counselors and 65 percent of parents reporting growth in at least one area. Counselors most often described growth in both groups of children in the areas of social interaction and communication, while parents of both groups most often described growth in self-esteem and self-reliance. Children without disabilities also developed greater understanding and respect for others. (SV)
