Many Thanks!

What can we say when hundreds of volunteer visitors give thousands of hours conducting 862 visits to camps that are seeking accreditation?  Parents tell us that they will send their child only to an ACA-accredited camp. A college student says he or she wants to work full time at camp — but only at an ACA-accredited camp. Only 2.4 percent of the camps fail accreditation, however, many of those that fail stick with it and try again.

We can say . . . Thank you very much!

Thank you for your hard work, your integrity, and your willingness to give of yourself to learn, grow, and promote the camp profession.
