This paper aims to address a gap in the literature regarding long-term youth involvement and the camper life cycle at residential summer camps in British Columbia, Canada. It proposes the question(s) What are the current factors within BC residential summer camps that affect youth volunteers aged 14 to 19 from continuing long-term (1-5 years) participation? What steps can Camp Latona take to mitigate these factors and promote long-term participation within their residential summer camps?
