Application of a Youth-Adult Partnership Model to Facilitate Skill Development Among Military-Connected Youth
Background: Out-of-school time programs have proven to be effective models for promoting positive youth development. Because military-connected youth face unique stressors, programs that intentionally address the specific needs of military-connected youth may offer additional opportunities for positive outcomes. Boys and Girls Clubs of America partners with the U.S. Armed Forces to provide programs, such as the Military Teen Ambassadors (MTA) pro…
Supporting military-connected teens to thrive
For teens growing up in military-connected families, challenges relating to relocation, parental deployment, and reintegration add layers of stress to an already complex time of life. Out-ofschool time programs provide military-connected teens opportunities to utilize existing strengths, develop new skills, and build support networks, as exemplified in the Military Teen Ambassador (MTA) program -a positive youth development program developed by t…
Amplifying Elder voices
This study examined a culturally tailored life skills curriculum for addressing tribal youth needs within a positive youth development programme context. In partnership with a Midwest United States tribe and a community-based out-of-school time (OST) organization, the research team interviewed tribal Elders to understand the potential fit of the curriculum and assess how well the curriculum might align with and support youths’ needs. Tribal Elder…
Developmental differences in reported overparenting, autonomy, and glucose monitoring within a medical specialty camp context
Developmentally inappropriate and excessive parenting can manifest at higher levels in children with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). A child’s age, level of T1D training, and time since T1D diagnosis have been associated with higher levels of developmentally excessive parenting (i.e., overparenting), lower rates of autonomy granting, and lower rates of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Utilizing a structural equation model, the present study examined t…
Influence of a youth development leadership graduate degree program on the professional pathways of youth leaders
Vaccine hesitancy, parental concerns, and Covid-19 in a digital leisure context
Due to the increasing prevalence of parental vaccine hesitancy or refusal, it is important to understand parental motives for vaccine hesitancy. This study examines social media conversations and commentaries regarding concerns about parenting, vaccine hesitancy, and the COVID-19 pandemic within an in-person leisure and recreation context: out-of-school time (OST) programs. A generative, probabilistic Bayesian machine learning model was used to a…
Implementing a Play-Based Forest Classroom Following the Onset of Covid-19
This field report describes how a forest classroom was implemented for elementary-aged students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim was to provide students with an opportunity to connect with nature, engage with diverse nature-based learning experiences, and participate in arts-integrated subjects utilizing outdoor spaces adjacent to the school. In addition to describing how this play initiative was developed and implemented, children's perspec…
Experiential Wilderness-Based Professional Development
Background: Continuing education programs for teachers seek to enhance outcomes for participants and their students. Experiential wilderness-based programs offer outdoor-recreational activities and experiential teaching initiatives. Research needs to be conducted to reveal how they influence individual behaviors. Purpose: This research investigated whether a wilderness-based program influenced individual beliefs and confidence in using experienti…
The Lived Experience of Siblings of Children With Cancer Who Attended a Peer Support Camp in the United States
Childhood cancer has a profound and negative impact on siblings, yet there are limited studies exploring lived experiences from their perspective. This qualitative study examined the perceptions and experiences of siblings of children with cancer who attended a peer support camp. Semi-structured interviews were conducted three to six weeks after the weeklong peer support camp with a stratified random sample of 10 siblings (six non-bereaved and fo…
Cultivating knowledge of resiliency and reintegration among military youth through a national youth leadership program
Youth in military families are frequently challenged by the adjustment demands associated with the deployment and reintegration of a parent. A positive youth development approach was undertaken by the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to develop and implement a Military Teen Ambassadors (MTA) training for youth in military families that would facilitate knowledge of resiliency and reintegration and foster leadership skills to build assets for thems…
A randomized study of CrossFit Kids for fostering fitness and academic outcomes in middle school students
Within the context of school-based physical education (PE), a strength and conditioning program called CrossFit Kids (CFK) has emerged as a potential intervention for positively impacting students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate through a randomized-controlled trial how academic and health-related fitness outcomes differed for middle school students (age = 12.73; 55.3 % male) who participated in a school-based CFK program (n=72) as com…
Influence of the natural setting on environmental education outcomes
Environmental education (EE) typically occurs in natural settings, which research suggests may enhance learning outcomes. Although field trips are commonly used to teach EE, few studies have isolated the influence of different setting characteristics for enhancing participant outcomes during an EE field trip. According to the literature, certain attributes of the natural setting, including novelty, beauty, and naturalness, as well as how the sett…
Camp as context for need satisfaction among Native American youth
Fostering youth leader credibility
Tough decisions in medical specialty camps
Exploring overparenting in summer camp
This study explores the development and validation of a measure of overparenting (OP) within a common youth leisure context, residential summer camp. A sample of 1140 parents (primarily mothers (89%)) of campers from 18 residential camps completed an online questionnaire pertaining to behaviours commonly associated with OP including parental support, control, and parental anxieties associated with nature and people in nature. The results of the m…
Interpreting perceived constraints to ethnic and racial recreation participation using a recreation systems approach
Ethnic and racial minority groups continue to experience limited access to leisure activities, resources, and services. To reverse this trend, leisure scholars have developed numerous models of constraints to recreation participation. The present article introduces an alternative systems approach to modeling constraints, which organizes constraints by their component parts – functions, mechanisms, or capacities – as well as their mode: social, ps…
Exploring Early Twenty-First Century Developed Forest Camping Experiences and Meanings
This study examines experiences and associated meanings of 38 family groups participating in developed camping. The analysis is guided by discursive social psychology in which expressed meanings reflect interpretive frames campers use to explain experiences. Key elements of camping experience include nature, social interaction, and comfort/convenience. The most common associated meanings are restoration, family functioning, experiencing nature, s…
