Study Notes
Program Management and Evaluation
- Programming in recreational settings aims to create enjoyable experiences for participants.
- Successful programming connects understanding of the program, creation process, and management methods.
Key Elements of Program Production
- Differentially Self-Reflexive Actors: Individuals aware of their self-perception and social context impact interaction dynamics.
- Place/Setting: The environment (physical or virtual) influences interactions by providing context and boundaries.
- Relationships: Expectations, obligations, and histories affect how individuals engage with each other within the program.
Program Plan Purposes
- Acts as a record of program status and resource usage.
- Serves as a reference for future operations.
- Includes operational details and implementation instructions.
Promotion and Budgeting
- Promotion Plan: Identifies target market and strategies for outreach.
- Budgeting: Details income projections, expenses, and pricing rationale.
Creative Program Design Process (Wallas, 1926)
- Preparation: Gather information via user research to define user needs and problems.
- Incubation: Allow ideas to develop organically without immediate judgment.
- Illumination: The "aha" moment of insight that can be cultivated through structured thinking.
- Verification/Implementation: Evaluate, analyze, and refine the idea into a complete plan.
Phases of Creative Process (Wallas and Finke, Ward, Smith)
- Problem Definition: Craft a clear statement of the problem faced.
- Organizational Management: Break down tasks, categorize activities, and establish timelines.
- Accountability: Define who is responsible for what throughout the program lifecycle.
Recreational Operations and Amenities
- Guest Expectations: Resort guests anticipate diverse and engaging activities.
- Programs should cater to varied demographics, interests, and physical abilities.
Facility and Labor Management
- Facilities at Resorts: Bigger spaces are necessary to accommodate diverse activities and amenities.
-
Labor Skills:
- Resorts: Employees need a versatile skill set to handle seasonal demands.
- Commercial Hotels: Employees typically have specialized, consistent roles.
Sources of Revenue
- Resorts: Income is generated from rooms, dining, retail, and recreational activities.
- Commercial Hotels: Primarily depend on room and food/beverage sales, with lesser diversification.
Traditions and Customer Engagement
- Resorts: Cultivate loyalty through annual events and themed weekends, enhancing the guest experience.
- Commercial Hotels: While traditions can improve satisfaction, they aren't as central to the business model.
