Successful programs provide a safe and controlled environment. 8. Successful programs provide a positive social atmosphere. 9. Successful programs provide age- and audience-appropriate activities.
37 Major Findings (continued) 10. Successful programs train instructors. 11. Successful programs consider the skill levels of participants. 12. Successful programs match instructor-participant backgrounds and demographics. 13. Successful programs contextualize activities as a way of encouraging crossover appeal. 14. Market hunting to other outdoor recreation program participants. 15. Successful programs encourage social interactions among participants after the event. 16. Successful programs provide the next step. 17. Successful programs identify program markets and disseminate information effectively (markets first; programs second). 18.
