Abstract
ABSTRACTUsing data from the Canadian Summer Camp Research Project (CSCRP), we examined the association between social capital and attitudes toward physical activity in wilderness summer camp settings. In our analysis, we examined the potential role of environmental awareness and personal development as mediators of the association between social capital and physical activity. The results suggest environmental awareness and personal development partially explain the association of social capital and attitudes toward physical activity. An improved understanding of the mechanisms which contribute to increased attitudes toward physical activity could be critical in making recommendations to future camp leaders, sports leaders, and even school physical activity programmers. To effectively leverage the potential positive benefits of summer camps, with respect to physical activity, programmers should consider developing programmes that build social capital and increase environmental awareness and personal development factors.
