The American Camping Association is a community of camp professionals
and is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults through
the camp experience. The ACA has become the only nationally
recognized organization that certifies camps in the key aspects of camp
operation, particularly those related to program quality and the health
and safety of campers and staff. These standards set forth serve
to establish guidelines for needed policies, procedures, and practices.
Since we are an accredited camp, we can offer confidence and assurance
to parents that their children's safety and well-being is the most
important issue for us. Being able to bear the ACA seal indicates
that we are in compliance with up to 300 health, safety, and program
quality standards.
As a program, we continually seek better and progressive practices
and management methods. Our staff training is consistently being
built upon and expanded as is the variety of programs we offer.
The American Camping Association offers expert counsel from many fields
such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Red Cross.
Having to undergo the entire accreditation process on a regular basis
means that we we have a recurring, independent health and safety audit
of our camp.
The seal is solid proof of our accountability, credibility, and
commitment. It's evidence that we care. It demonstrates that
we have gone to great lengths, have been evaluated, and have passed the
test! |
