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.
