This tops Adult Programs, at 45%.   And 40% of recreation programmers are involved in Summer Camp programming, the third top focus. Another youth-related programming, After School Programs, came in at 15%.

But Summer Camps were a program focus for 25% of community educators, tied with ABE\/GED in the third most common programming area for Community Educators.<br \/>\nIn Continuing Education, Youth Programs get much less attention, being named by 20% of continuing educators as a field of focus.  This is far behind the top programming area, professional continuing education at 55%.<br \/>\nAll totaled, youth programming is a strong focus for lifelong learning programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Youth programming and summer camps are a strong part of lifelong learning programming, according to an exclusive new survey by LERN.
