Abstract

This study examined the use of assessment in wilderness orientation programs in the United States. Fifty-seven programs responded to a survey that sought information on assessment and descriptive variables. Assessment variables included program goals and assessment method. Descriptive variables included program size, length, and time spent in wilderness or outdoor setting. Programs were also asked about administrative location, program leader academic degree level, time dedicated to program, and administrative contracts with outside organizations. These data provide insights into the assessment struggles and successes of wilderness orientation programs. Recommendations for enhancing assessment are provided.
