Annual Statement of Compliance
2008 Camp Accreditation Visits


Annual Statement of Compliance

While we have received many signed Annual Statements of Compliance on file, there are still camps that have not summated this required annual document for 2008. As a reminder, this is a requirement of accreditation. The form can be accessed online at: www.ACAcamps.org/soc. Once you have the form completed, select the “print” option so you may have a copy for your files.

Please remember that accreditation applies to all camp programs and services offered under the same camp name throughout the year, except for single-day events.

2008 Camp Accreditation Visits

Camp accreditation visits are underway and, to date, they seem to be going well. A few quick reminders to help make your visit go more smoothly:

  • Make sure you have verified the day, date, and time the visitors will arrive!
  • Confirm with the visitor how to get to your camp location, where they should park, and where to meet you.
  • If campers and staff bring their lunch, please remind the visitors of this (as well as other potentially unique items regarding your camp) so they can be appropriately prepared.
  • Please have all of the written documentation easily accessible and preferably in one location. Many camps will use notebooks, file folders, etc.
  • Please share the news of the accreditation visit with your staff and campers. It is very possible the visitors will talk with some individuals from each of those groups.

If you have any questions regarding your visit, contact your local ACA office. And, most importantly have a wonderful summer!
