Annual Statements of Compliance
Camps who are seeking or renewing ACA accreditation
will receive notice soon about submitting
their 2006 Statements of Compliance,
which confirm their compliance with applicable
laws and codes and with ACA standards
and ethics. Notices will be sent to ACA
Liaisons, with the statements due back
to ACA by mid-April. At this time, we
are encouraging camps to sign and submit
the Statement of Compliance electronically
(link to www.acacamps.org/soc).

Operation Sweet Feet
Thanks to ACA member, Phil Lilienthal,
and an organization by the name of WorldCamps, African
children now have the rare and privileged
opportunity to attend camp in South Africa. Most
of these campers are orphans and in need
of shoes. While attending camp,
these children get to pick out one pair
of shoes that will last them for the
entire year. If you would like to
help put a pair of shoes on a child's
sweet, little feet, we invite you
to join us in Operation Sweet Feet.
