ACA Health
Forms
As summer quickly approaches, many camps continue to ask about the ACA Health
Forms. Below are a few reminders and key points:
- ACA provides the health forms and templates
as a member service. A camp is NOT required
to use these or any other specific form.
- A variety of forms for use by camps
are available
online. These forms are made available
to ACA members as a member benefit and
can be downloaded from this site at no
charge.
- Many of the forms are customizable
for your camp (you can place your camp
logo and address in specifically designated "boxes").
The customizable forms include Staff
Health History, Medical Recommendation
for Camp Employees, and other useful
health-related forms.
- Used together for overnight camps,
the Camper Health
History Form One (four-page
form completed by parent/guardian) and
the Camper Health
Care Recommendation Form Two (one-page form completed by
physician) replace the old "green
form," which will NOT be updated/revised.
- Day camps can use the Camper
Health History alone in order to meet
the ACA Standards.
The Camper Health
History Form and the Camper Health Care
Recommendation Form,
along with a variety of other forms are
also available for purchase in 100-count
packs through the ACA
Bookstore. These
two forms may also be posted on your camp's
Web site. Visit www.acacamps.org/members/healthforms for
this information.

Accreditation and the ANNUAL Statement
of Compliance
Notices will be sent to ACA Liaisons for
those camps seeking or renewing ACA accreditation
reminding them to submit their 2008 Statement
of Compliance. It is requested this statement
be completed electronically and be submitted
no later than May 1, 2008. Annual
submission of the Statement of Compliance
confirms a camp's compliance with
applicable laws and codes and with ACA
standards and ethics throughout the entire
year and is a required part of the accreditation
process.
Accreditation applies to all camp programs
and services offered under the same camp
name throughout the year, except single-day
events.
