Camp Everytown - Social-Emotional Learning

Eighty-three students and thirteen staff members from Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, CA just returned from Camp Everytown. After students finished Camp, they filled out surveys. Here's what students had to say:

"Camp inspired me to be myself and to help others around me."

"I feel more confident and will stand up for people who are being put down."

"I was inspired to be a better brother and to set an example and high expectations for my siblings."

"I see myself being less judgemental and inspiring people to accept and create more acts of kindness."

"I will take more time to reach out to those who are alone at school."

Not only do we measure outcomes qualitatively, we measure quantitatively, too. Results from the 2011-2012 school year show: 

• The percentage of students who believe that “I can work with someone who has different opinions than mine” increased from 67% to 97%.

• The percentage of students who believe that “I can stand up for myself without putting others down” increased from 68% to 95%. 

• The percentage of students who say that “I stand up for others if I see them being bullied or teased” increased from 67% to 94%.

• 98% of students stated that “I try to understand what other people feel and think” after experiencing Camp.

• 97% of students stated that “I accept people who are different than me” after experiencing Camp.

• 96% of students said that “Participating in Camp Everytown inspired me to help other people in my community.”

These results are made possible by YOUR support. Thank YOU!
