Design an intentional/outcome-based recreation or leisure program plan. The program should be over a series of days or weeks (minimum of 6 sessions), it should not be a one-time special event or a camp. Proposals must demonstrate a reasonable price and value for the participants.
Choose a recreation agency where your program could be provided. The plan should focus on designing a program initiative that focuses on the end results program participants are trying to achieve and reflects the host agency vision and mission. Agency should not be a school board.
All the “inputs” required for a program plan should be considered and explained. Supporting evidence (references) should be incorporated into the plan to support both the need for the program and the intended outcomes for the program.
The program plan should be unique and innovative “thinking outside the box”, and it should have a plan for how participation will be encouraged and monitored throughout the program.
Program ideas should reflect the needs and wants of the potential participants/target group. Program ideas should focus on one or more of the following program areas:
1. Leadership development
2. Wellness and personal development
3. Arts and cultural activities
4. Sports and recreation
Report:
Your program proposal should be in report format. The report should be written in 3rd person as a formal report as if an agency supervisor were reading it. Your project report should include the following components:
– Title Page (catchy program name, student name, graphic, instructor name, course name, name of organization, date)
– Table of Contents – page numbers on the right side, only type the word page once
– Executive Summary (of the four program areas, describe in which area does your program best fit and why, statistics and supporting data/referenced, target group identified, outcomes identified, name of agency, summary of program need and benefits)
– Rationale
1. Purpose
2. Program Description – 1 paragraph description of the program (who it is for, numbers, location, agency where it will run, overview of the program and types of activities it will include, length of program, time of year).
3. Rationale – Why there is a need for this program (use supporting evidence – references to back up the need and rationale).
4. Target market (age, gender, ability level, special considerations/adaptations, characteristics (physical, social, emotional))
5. Proposed agency that the program could be implemented. Indicate the sector of the host agency (non-profit, commercial or public) and explain why this sector was chosen.
6. Expected outcomes (minimum 3) – write as outcome statements with a brief explanation
7. Program Schedule – a chart indicating the theme for each class and activities – show progression of program from beginning to the end
8. Lesson Plans – Minimum 3 detailed lesson plans using the template provided in class
9. Staffing requirements and qualifications (include a job description for the paid staff position and the volunteer staff position in appendices)
10. Program Budget – Break-even – no more than a total of $5,000 (staffing costs, program costs, materials, sponsors/co-sponsors, marketing, equipment, events, field trips, etc.)
Referencluves – use APA format
