Abstract: Camp has proven to be an effective positive youth development strategy for children and youth who experience trauma and adversity. However, training camp counselors who are prepared to meet the needs of trauma-exposed youth in these settings are less understood. This pilot evaluation study provides the results of a social simulation-based training for counselors who will work with children who have witnessed family violence through Camp HOPE America. Survey data (N = 76) and content analysis from video recorded training sessions in simulation that used standardized actors and scenarios from the 1st year (n = 37) were conducted. Repeated measures ANOVA results indicated statistically significant improvements from pre- to post-instruction simulation in counselors' hope scores (p < 0.001); their knowledge and confidence in recognizing and reporting physical/sexual abuse, and self-harming behaviors (p < 0.001); as well as significant increases in their knowledge and confidence in de-escalation, preventing difficult situations, and building campers' hope (p < 0.001). Further, analysis of simulation videos suggests that camp counselors used new skills from the training during the simulation experience. Participants showed gains in knowledge, confidence, use of skills, and an overall increase in hope after completing the simulation training.
