The Value of ACA Accreditation
ACA accreditation verifies that a camp
has complied with up to 300 standards
for health, safety, and program quality,
which are recognized by courts of law
and government regulators.
ACA-accreditation standards cover all
aspects of camp operation from site/food
service and health care to management
and staffing.
The American Camp Association collaborates
with experts from the American Academy
of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross,
and other youth-serving agencies to assure
that current practices at ACA-Accredited® camps
reflect the most up-to-date, research-based
standards in camp operation.
Accreditation is a parent’s best
evidence of a camp’s commitment
to health and safety.
ACA accreditation assures parents that
the camp has had a regular, independent
safety audit that goes beyond regulations
in most states.
Parents can (and should) verify the
accreditation status of any camp at any
time. This may be accomplished through
ACA's Web site at www.ACAcamps.org
(Click on Find A Camp!) or by calling
800-428-CAMP.
If your child's camp isn't ACA accredited,
ask WHY NOT? Read
