“…Transformative learning is relevant for positive youth development because it augments the personal development of camp counselors. Erik Erikson developed a chart of the psychosocial development of individuals throughout their lifespans (Slater, 2003). Camp counselors -mostly being between the ages of 12 and 18 -fall in Erikson's adolescent stage of development (Slater, 2003).…”

“…Identity and social relationships are important events for individuals at this life stage. According to Erikson, it is imperative for individuals in the adolescent stage to establish a personal identity (Slater, 2003). Doing so helps individuals stay true to themselves, but failure creates a weak sense of self.…”

While many studies about the 4-H camping experience focus on youth who are campers, few studies examine the outcomes of the experience for counselors. This study examines the extent to which 4-H camp results in transformative learning for 4-H members who serve as camp counselors, examines the perceived changes that occur within counselors, and describes the factors and characteristics of camp that result in personal transformation. The population for this study was 2012 Minnesota 4-H camp counselors. Using the Transformative Learning and the Camp Experience Staff Member Survey, the results indicated that camp counselors experienced transformative learning. Major personal changes involved developing skills for working with children and exposure to new people, activities, and experiences. Factors leading to personal transformation included the opportunity to be role models and positively impact children, opportunities for leadership and challenge, and camp traditions. This study provides support for strong and intentional camp counseling experiences that can positively impact the individual, 4-H campers, and later, the communities in which these camp counselors reside.

“…Then again, retirement can also lead to decreased well-being because of changes in the major parts of a person's identity, social and economic changes (Kim & Moen, 2002). Moreover, the notion of inevitable loss of work due to retirement or being retired may provoke the crisis of generativity (Slater, 2003). Based on longitudinal data from a SHARE study, labor market inactivity at the end of the career (Ponomarenko, 2016) is negatively related to well-being and although there is a little increase in well-being right after retirement, it steadily decreases later on (Horner, 2012).…”

“…Studies have shown that having larger social networks usually has positive effects on work efficiency (Mehra, Kilduff, & Brass, 2001) or even reduces the chances of catching a common cold (Cohen, 1997). A perception of diminished social status and a depletion of social network may once again raise the issue of generativity (Slater, 2003) and possibly provoke despair. Studies show that the different aspects of a social network are linked with well-being in an older age (Baxter et al, 1998;Bjorn, Aparna, & Andrew, 2015;Cooper et al, 2011;Litwin, 2009).…”
