Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of summer camp environment on the vigilance of the candidates. The sample consisted of 29 children attending summer camp, at Adanbagh branch. Dayalbgah Agra. Their age range is in between 11-15 years and they belongs to urban area. They stayed in summer camp hostel for 20 days. The Bourdon – Wiersma vigilance test was used to generate data. The researcher used Wilcoxon – T test for data analysis. Results indicate that there is no significant difference (z -values = -0.328, -0.297 and 0.048 respectively, where p > 0.05) between pre and post measures of vigilance (Total responses, correct and error responses) for the candidates attending summer camp. This means that although the impact of summer camp environment is reflected in means scores of pre and post measure of vigilance but the difference is not significant enough to generalize the results.
