A Qualitative Investigation into the Summer Activities Initiative.
Kirby, Laura
Horizons, n18 p36-39 Sum 2002
A British summer adventure education program aims to re-engage high risk secondary students into society. A qualitative evaluation found that although the participants had fun, there was not enough focus on transferring skills to daily life. Because of the many factors affecting the experience, any difference made in the lives of the youths was subtle. (TD)
