Camping and Character: A Camp Experiment in Character Education by Hedley S. Dimock is a book that explores the role of camping in shaping the character of young people. The author draws on his experience as a camp director to provide insights into how camping can be used as a tool for character education. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the camp experience and its potential to build character. It discusses the importance of creating a positive camp culture, the role of camp staff in shaping campers' character, and the benefits of outdoor activities for character development. The second part of the book presents a case study of a camp that implemented a character education program. The program was designed to teach campers about specific character traits such as honesty, responsibility, and respect. The author describes the program's goals, implementation, and outcomes, including changes in camper behavior and attitudes. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of intentional character education in the camp setting. He argues that camping provides a unique opportunity to teach young people important life skills and values that will serve them well beyond their time at camp. Overall, Camping and Character is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the role of camping in character education. It provides practical insights and strategies for using camping as a tool for building character in young people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
