Introduction Social-emotional development refers to the development of one's abilities to understand, regulate, and express emotions and to establish and maintain successful relationships with peers and adults. Education in the arts has been shown to promote learning these skills, but the relationship between social-emotional development and summer art camp has not been explored. Methods The objective of this study is to determine the potential for social-emotional development in a community-based art day camp. A qualitative thematic analysis of the art camp's curriculum was conducted and compared with current literature regarding opportunities for social-emotional development in arts education and summer camp settings. Results The summer art camp curriculum included practices known to facilitate social-emotional learning in school-aged children. The curriculum data themes identified were performance, art projects, and outdoor activities. All of these themes have been shown to facilitate social-emotional skill building and can be connected to the components of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework. Conclusions Through the shown benefits of summer camp in combination with the benefits of in-school arts education, art camp provides the unique opportunity to practice self-expression, friend-making, and self-esteem building, all of which can contribute to mental well-being and academic success long-term.
引言 社会情感发展是指一个人理解、调节和表达情感，以及与同龄人和成年人建立并维持成功关系的能力的发展。艺术教育已被证明有助于学习这些技能，但社会情感发展与暑期艺术营之间的关系尚未得到探讨。方法 本研究的目的是确定一个社区艺术日营中社会情感发展的潜力。对艺术营的课程进行了定性主题分析，并与当前关于艺术教育和夏令营环境中社会情感发展机会的文献进行了比较。结果 暑期艺术营课程包括已知有助于学龄儿童社会情感学习的实践活动。确定的课程数据主题是表演、艺术项目和户外活动。所有这些主题都已被证明有助于社会情感技能的培养，并且可以与学术、社会和情感学习合作组织（CASEL）框架的组成部分相联系。结论 通过夏令营所显示的益处与校内艺术教育的益处相结合，艺术营提供了练习自我表达、交朋友和建立自尊的独特机会，所有这些都可以长期促进心理健康和学业成功。
