Abstract: The authors present the findings of an evaluation of the residential environmental education program offered by the New Jersey School of Conservation (NJSOC). Sixth-grade students (n = 419) from a large, central New Jersey school district participated in a 4-day/3-night experience. The Children's Attitudes Toward the Environment Scale (L. M. Musser & A. J. Malkus, 1994) was used to assess the effect of the NJSOC program on the students' attitudes toward the environment. A complementary phase of the research involved using qualitative methods of inquiry to evaluate the effectiveness of NJSOC programs experienced by the students in meeting selected missions of the NJSOC.
