SayPro Engagement Metrics: Tracking Participant Engagement and Progress
Monitoring participant engagement is essential for ensuring the success of the SayPro Health and Wellness Camp. By using various engagement metrics, we can assess how actively participants are involved in the camp activities, track their progress toward their goals, and ensure that they are making the most of the resources provided. Below are key engagement metrics to monitor throughout the camp.
1. Daily Activity Participation
Metric: Track attendance and active participation in daily activities such as fitness routines, mindfulness exercises, cooking workshops, and educational sessions.
- How to Measure:

- Activity Completion: Track whether participants complete daily activities, such as fitness routines, meditation practices, or journaling exercises.
- Engagement in Group Discussions: Measure how often participants contribute to group discussions or share insights during sessions.
- Goal: Ensure that at least 80% of participants engage in daily activities, with participation increasing throughout the camp as they develop healthier habits.
2. Goal Setting and Tracking

- How to Measure:
- Goal-Setting Worksheet Completion: Check whether participants set personal nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness goals at the beginning of the camp.
- Weekly Progress Check-Ins: Conduct weekly check-ins to assess how participants are tracking progress toward their goals. Use a simple tracking form for them to report on their achievements and any challenges faced.

- How to Measure:
- Mid-Camp and Post-Camp Surveys: Use surveys to ask participants about their satisfaction with the camp activities, facilitators, and content. Include questions on whether they feel engaged and motivated to continue their health journey.
- Instructor Observations: Facilitators should assess participants’ engagement through verbal and non-verbal cues during sessions. Are participants attentive? Are they asking questions or offering insights? Do they appear motivated to participate?
- Participant Testimonials: Encourage participants to provide feedback during the camp, such as sharing personal experiences of what is working for them and what could be improved.
