| Abstract | The study determined whether a residential outdoor education program in Rockford, Illinois provided a long lasting effect on those students who as 5th graders participated in a week long experience in 1963 or 1966. The hypotheses developed were: outdoor educational experiences provide a long lasting effect on those who have had the experience; past outdoor educational experiences provide for awareness of the environment and environmental problems; concepts for outdoor education are of value to outdoor educational programs; and parents who participated in outdoor educational experiences as students feel the experience was worthwhile and would support an outdoor education experience for their children. Data were obtained from: a letter sent to the teacher asking about the program, and attitude questionnaires mailed to 22 participants of the 1963 class and 16 of the 1966 class. Ten of the 22 and 5 of the 16 questionnaires were returned. It was found that the residential outdoor education experience that these adults participated in as children had had a long lasting effect on them. They remembered their experiences, and the activities they participated in. They felt that this experience was good and worthwhile to them, and it would be so to their children. The opportunity to enjoy the outdoors as children may have led to their interest in outdoor activities as adults. (NQ) |
