Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine influences on not for profit agencies involved in camping programs to determine critical trends and issues related to organized camping. The American Camping Association (ACA) Not for Profit Forum and Council funded this study. The project consisted of three data collection phases: 1) an extensive literature review; 2) a survey sent to a random sample of camp directors and their not for profit agency executives; and 3) focus groups conducted at a national ACA conference. This descriptive research study uses information from the second phase of this project to present quantitative data about perceptions of the trends and issues in not for profit camping.
