“…Research on summer camp experiences has shown that participants develop positive self-image/self-concept (Hazelworth & Wilson, 1990;Larson, 2007;Quinlan, Kolotkin, Fuemmeler, & Costanzo, 2009;Thurber, Scanlin, Scheuler, & Henderson, 2007), better socialization behaviors (Bialeschki, Henderson, & James, 2007;Garst, Browne, & Bialeschki, 2011;Glover et al, 2011;, and personal values, which they continue to hold after their time at camp is over Paris, 2008). In addition, the effects of camp experiences on children`s emotional well-being, and parent involvement in children's lives have been explored (Garst et al, 2011;Thurber & Malinowski, 1999), and environmental awareness and education of campers has also received some attention (Dresner & Gill, 1994;Kruse & Card, 2004). This wide range of experiential measurements notwithstanding, little work has been conducted on the effects that might exist through compounded or mediated relationships between these outcome variables (see : Carruthers, 2013;Lichti, 2014).…”

Summer camps in Canada provide services to hundreds of thousands of youth each year, giving opportunities for growth and development. However, summer camps in Canada remain understudied. Using one phase of data from the Canadian Summer Camps Research Project (CSCRP), analysis was conducted on the effect of camper self-concept on their environmental awareness, mediated by perceived level of social inclusion. A relationship between camper self-concept and environmental awareness existed, and that relationship was enhanced when campers were socially included. These findings show preliminary connections between self-concept and environmental awareness in summer camps, and open opportunities for further research into personal and long-term effects of camp participation on environmental viewpoints, social group integration, and self-concept.

“…La présence d'amis dans le projet d'action (Wandersman et Giamartino, 1980), l'influence de leaders jugés compétents ou particulièrement habiles en regard de la tâche à accomplir (Jang Hsu et Roth, 1996) et la pression des pairs (Dresner et Gill, 1994) constituent d'importants facteurs d'influence dans la prise de déci-sion d'une implication environnementale. En effet, une information qui émane d'un pair est plus crédible dans la communauté, car cette personne est considérée comme ayant les mêmes valeurs et attitudes que son groupe social.…”

Résumé Cette étude traite des facteurs socioculturels et pédagogiques qui motivent le désir d'action environnementale. Elle a été menée auprès de quatre groupes sociaux d'une communauté côtière. Les sujets ont participé à diverses activités d'éducation relative à l'environnement qui ont contribué à l'accomplissement d'actions de restauration. La collecte des données s'est déroulée selon l'approche du récit de vie et par entrevues semi-structurées. Faite par trois juges à partir de catégories établies a priori, avec ouverture sur des catégories émergentes, l'analyse des données indique que les principaux facteurs de motivation ont été l'observation visuelle du problème, la réception d'informations, l'impression de la réalisabilité de la tâche, le sens de la solidarité et l'attente de récompenses personnelles consécutives à l'action.
