Intergenerational Engagement: Bringing Universities and Communities Together Through Recreation Programming (Session 017)
Intergenerational programs align with NRPA's Healthy Aging in Parks initiative (Sutton, 2019), as they aim to improve the health and wellbeing of older adults through recreation by the following strategies: chronic disease prevention and management, food security, and social isolation, in addition to, preserving the health, independence and social connections of older adults. However, developing successful intergenerational programs is often a challenge with limited staff and resources. This panel presentation will introduce attendees to the multiple aspects of intergenerational programming. Practitioners and researchers will gain concrete ideas to more develop and evaluate their own intergenerational programs and train staff.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify a community partner to either begin or continue a conversation with about intergenerational programming.
- Utilize presented resources (i.e. evaluation toolkit, themed activity kits for older adults staying at home, online training for staff) in their classroom or community center.
- Discuss the value of intergenerational programs in classrooms and communities.
How Parent's Perception of the Coach's Education of Sportspersonship Effects Program Value (Session 012)
Coaches and parents are recognized to have the biggest influence on youths participation in sport programs (Horn, 2002). Historically, one of the many reasons youth participate in a youth sport program is to develop psychosocially (Wiggins, 2013). Specifically, sportspersonship has been identified as a key area of development that both children and parents want out of their participation in youth sports (Martin, Dale, & Jackson, 2002; Schwab, Wells, & Arthur-Banning, 2010). This study seeks to identify the impact that coaching behaviors demonstrated by the youth sport coach, has on the parents perception of the program value. Results indicate that the coaching behaviors that foster positive sportspersonship does have a direct relationship to program valuation.
Learning Objectives:
- Adjust coach training sessions to focus on coaching behaviors that are positively associated with youth athlete retention.
- Conduct in-season and post-season evaluations of their coaches to be able to address their behaviors.
- Identify specific behaviors that directly impact the development of sportspersonship characteristics.
It's Pretty Hard to Make Friends Over a Zoom Meeting Room': Understanding Recreation Experiences of Youth with Type 1 Diabetes During COVID-19 (Session 001)
Participation in Out of School (OTS) programs can provide significant benefits for youth living with type 1 diabetes (Allen et al., 2021; Hill et al., 2015; 2019). For example, participation in medical specialty camps, which are a variant of the traditional camp models, can provide youth with the ability to learn, explore, build confidence, and bond with peers who share the same unique, chronic condition. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated social distancing recommendations and requirements, have led to the cancelation of many youth developments programs, including medical specialty camps and other OTS programs designed for youth living with type 1 diabetes. During this time, it is unknown how, and if, youth with type 1 diabetes are engaging in recreational pursuits to garner these important outcomes. As such, the purpose of this study was to explore how youth with type 1 diabetes make sense of their altered recreation environment as a result of COVID-19.
Learning Objectives:
- At the end of the session, attendees should be able to describe the qualitative approach to this study.
- At the end of the session, attendees should be able to describe the REACH program.
- At the end of the session, attendees should be able to describe virtual recreation experience for youth with type 1 diabetes.
