Rights and Responsibilities

Accredited-Camp Logo

• A camp may NOT use the symbols of ACA accreditation, nor may it publicize ACA camp accreditation if
  • The camp failed for any reason to meet the minimum requirements of the standards program and is not accredited by the section board of directors OR
• The camp has been ACA accredited but
• The ACA membership of the owner/director has expired and/or the nonmember accreditation fee has not been paid OR
• The owner/director has not signed the Statement of Compliance for the current year.
• Do not abbreviate American Camp Association Accredited Camp in your promotional materials. There are other ACAs, such as the American Canoe Association and the American Correctional Association. Use the logo. It is a symbol we all want the public to recognize.
• It is inappropriate to advertise your camp as a "member of the American Camp Association" as this misleads the public. You may identify ACA as one of the organizations to which you personally belong.
