Week 7 of my fellowship at the McConnell Arts Center involved a variety of projects and preparation. I began the week finishing up my survey and evaluation project which I began a few weeks prior. This project consisted of analysis of both the quantity, quality, and style of the previous programming surveys. After examining these older surveys from both camps and classes, I pinpointed types of questions which elicited the most responses. I then created surveys for the parents of Camp Creativity campers to gauge which aspects of camp the McConnell Arts Center should work on for next year. In addition to preparing surveys for Session 1 campers, I began to gather old supplies and reach out to instructors for their updated supply list for Session 2. 

The remainder of the week was spent preparing for the MAC’s first Summer Outdoor Series. A concert and movie were hosted on our lawn, with food trucks and popcorn. The latter part of the week was spent organizing and prepping supplies for this event. While the attendance turnout was lower than expected, from a development standpoint – the event was successful!
