Zusammenfassung:	This report on the Michigan Youth Services boys camping program suggests substantial attitudinal and behavioral improvement by all groups of participants. Squads strategically "mixed" with achievers, pre-delinquents, expelled/suspended, and wards of the court attended an intensive encampment for one week at Wurtsmith Air Force Base. Emphasis was placed on exposure to vocational opportunities, health care. recreation, fellowship, and leadership. From 1971 to 1973, 590 boys participated in this Air Force Community Action Program. Some suggestions are included for those attempting to evaluate the effectiveness of youth programs.
