The Perceived Impact of Outdoor Residential Camp Experience on the Spirituality of Youth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived impact of outdoor residential camp experience on the spirituality of youth. This research focused on 11 participants in month long leadership programs at two YMCA residential camps in Ontario, Canada. After conducting an in-depth interview at the beginning and end of each of the participant's leadership experience, it was found that the participants did feel camp had an affect on their spirituality. The camp setting played a role by providing a natural setting and an opportunity for the participants to get away from their everyday lives in an urban environment. In this environment, experiencing structured and unstructured time alone influenced their spirituality, by providing them with opportunities to reflect on their lives. Social experiences also had an impact on the participants' spirituality by allowing them to develop relationships through formal and informal activities. Finally, the majority of the participants expressed that the camp experience provided them with positive feelings that they associated with their spirituality. This study found that the four themes of the camp setting, alone time, social experiences, and positive feelings played an interrelated role in the participant's camp experience and spirituality.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
