Abstract

Summer camps are a common experience for youth, but little research has explored the long-term effectiveness of these short experiences. Romanian campers four to eleven years post-camp showed differences from non-campers in personal growth, self-acceptance, fiscal responsibility, integrity, trust, and volunteering.
