SayPro January SCDR.4.5: 5-Day Arts Camp
The goal for SayPro’s 5-Day Arts Camp is to achieve a 90% satisfaction rate among participants, based on feedback regarding three key components: the learning experience, the support provided by instructors, and the overall organization of the camp. Achieving this satisfaction rate will ensure that participants find the camp valuable, engaging, and well-organized, contributing to the success of the program and encouraging future participation.
1. Defining Satisfaction Metrics
Satisfaction will be measured through participant feedback, assessing three main categories:
a) Learning Experience:
- Artistic Growth: How much participants feel they’ve developed their artistic skills in visual arts, performing arts, and crafts.
- Content Relevance: Whether the camp’s activities were engaging, useful, and appropriate for their skill levels.
- Hands-On Opportunities: How well participants were able to engage in hands-on activities and practice the artistic techniques discussed.
b) Instructor Support:
- Instructional Quality: Participants’ views on the clarity, effectiveness, and enthusiasm of the instructors during lessons.
- Availability and Assistance: How accessible instructors were for questions, feedback, and support during sessions.

c) Camp Organization:

2. Participant Feedback Collection
To accurately assess participant satisfaction, feedback will be gathered through multiple channels before, during, and after the camp:
Pre-Camp Survey:
- Purpose: To assess initial expectations, interest in different activities, and prior knowledge of the artistic disciplines offered. This will help tailor the camp’s approach and provide insight into participant goals.

Daily Check-Ins:
- Purpose: To gather real-time feedback on the participants’ experience during each session. This will provide facilitators with insight into what is working well and where adjustments might be needed.
- Key Questions: What are you enjoying most today? What did you find challenging? How can we improve today’s session for you?
Post-Camp Survey (Satisfaction Survey):
- Purpose: To assess overall satisfaction with the camp, focusing on the three key areas: learning experience, instructor support, and camp organization. The survey will help determine if the 90% satisfaction goal has been achieved.
- Key Questions:
- Learning Experience: How satisfied are you with the variety and quality of the activities? Did you feel challenged and supported in your artistic journey?
- Instructor Support: How would you rate the support provided by the instructors? Were they available and helpful when needed?

5. Evaluating Satisfaction and Success
