The American Camp Association is a community of camp professionals and is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults through the camp experience. Camp Benefits
The main purpose of the American Camp Association Accreditation program is to educate camp owners and directors in the administration of key aspects of camp operation, particularly those related to program quality and the health and safety of campers and staff. The Standards establish guidelines for needed policies, procedures, and practices. The camp, then, is responsible for on-going implementation of these policies.
What does being an ACA accredited mean? To me and my staff? To my supervisor and/or board? To my public? To my funding agency?
