Purpose statement

The following is the first in a series of Campus Outdoor Programs (COP) census data collections. The aim is to capture a better understanding of the programs and services offered by university and college campus outdoor programs (not educational/or for credits) for the academic year 2018-2019. Your participation in completing this survey as an organizational representative plays a pivotal role in understanding the full scope of campus outdoor programs across the United States. Following the conclusion of data collection, aggregate information about campus outdoor programs will be shared at the national conference, and potentially in a national report. Name and COPs will be assigned a code and names and identification materials will be only available to the PIs. Data will be combined for presentation purposes and no individual/organization will be shared.

We thank you in advance for your participation in the Campus Outdoor Programs Census. If you have specific questions regarding this survey, please contact Drs. Genevieve Marchand (Genevieve.Marchand@humboldt.edu),  Erik Rabinowitz (rabinowitze@appstate.edu) Forrest Schwartz, (forrest.schwartz@prescott.edu), and Andy Szolosi (szolosi@ohio.edu).
