ACA Information

The American Camp Association (ACA) is a national, non-profit organization with the purpose of promoting high standards in organized camps. Its members are recognized leaders in the camping profession. Over 2,300 camps are accredited by the Association. ACA is the only national accrediting body for all types of camps.

ACA Accreditation

Every camp which displays the ACA-Accredited Camp logo is committed to the highest operating standards for the industry. These standards were first established in the late 1930's and are continually updated to reflect the current consensus of camp professionals on practices and procedures considered basic to a quality camp experience. ACA-Accredited Camps are visited at least once every three years by a team of two or more trained camp professionals. These professionals compare the camp's operation, while it's in session, with the industry's standards related to site and facilities, administration, personnel, transportation, health care, and programming. By selecting an ACA-Accredited Camp, you're assured that many important questions have been asked and answered appropriately.
