All children benefited from the school camp experience in some way, as shown by changed home and school behavior. Changes were evident in more realistic levels of aspiration, greater self confidence, increased ability to communicate socially with peers, acquisition of new interests, better attitudes toward discipline, a higher degree of cooperation, increased participation, and higher academic achievement. Furthermore, practical suggestions based on camp reports were useful to teachers. However, to be of maximum benefit, there should be regular followup consultation and assistance from the educators and the mental health team involved in the project.
