20/20 Vision—Our Preferred Future

A Robust Vision Critical to the Future

• What is ACA’s 20/20 Vision?
  We must advocate for children, youth, and families. Yes, we are camp professionals, but even more importantly, we are advocates for quality, developmental experiences for children, youth, and families.

• The Power of the Experience, by Peg Smith
  Those who have experienced camp first-hand or observed the benefits that camp provides others, more often than not, describe the experience as "life saving."
