I had the opportunity to explore leadership styles, program planning, and preparation, and activity implementation through individual and collaborative learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom in the field. A the end of the class I implemented a full-day community engaged learning experience.

"The theory of Flow and applying it to programming in PRT services leads leisure practitioners to use it as a guide in shaping their programming efforts. Those who follow this theory use their desire to facilitate flow experiences for participants as the driving force behind program design, planning, implementation, and evaluation. To be effective, programmers need to have a clear understanding of human development and cultural influences" (Jordan, Degraaf, & Degraaf, 2005)
