Accredited Camps
The American Camp Association is the only nationwide accrediting organization for all types and designs of organized camps. ACA standards focus on health, safety, and risk management practices. The camp’s voluntary participation in the ACA’s professional development and peer-review accreditation process demonstrates a commitment to providing the best possible camp experience.
Accreditation provides a framework to manage resources, offer best practices in policies and procedures, and strive for continuous improvement. ACA standards establish guidelines for designing and implementing policies, procedures, and practices. The camp is then responsible for implementing those policies and ensuring they are followed. ACA’s Accreditation Program is not intended to circumvent the licensure required to operate your primary business.
