Instrument Overview

The Camp Program Quality Assessment-Short Form (CPQA) outlines specific ways camps can promote quality through eight dimensions: staff friendliness and circulation, emotional safety, support for belonging, high expectations and good challenge, active and cooperative learning, camper voice, planning and reflection, and nature. As a tool for staff training, monitoring and reflection, the CPQA-Short Form is an excellent resource for camps that want to focus more intentionally on program quality.
