MOVEMENT SPECTRUM The following data is from 1764 campers reporting which is 70% of our total camper number of 2469.

PURPOSE: YFC Camp wanted a new way to capture a kid’s movement toward Jesus during a week of camp. We have

always collected the standard three responses of “Yes,” “Yes again,” and “Not Yet.” However, our goal isn’t necessarily

just to move kids to a place of saying Yes to Christ for the first time in their lives. We also desire to see everyone

experience Jesus and move closer to Him no matter where they are at on their faith journey. Here is what the spectrum

looks like:

Campers were asked to rate where they believed themselves to be on the spectrum before they arrived to camp and to

rate where they believed themselves to be after being at camp for the week. Each dot on the spectrum was assigned a

numerical value for the purposes of data analysis starting with -5 on the far left and +5 on the far right. Zero represents

the middle of the spectrum where a kid says ‘Yes’ to Jesus for the first time.
