Results from Summer Accreditation Visits
. . . No News Is Good News!
Camps that were visited this past summer
are understandably anxious for notification
of the results of their visits. In
August and September, when scoring
and reporting happens, no news is good
news for camps! Any camp that
fails to meet the minimum criteria
for accreditation is notified via e-mail
(return receipt requested) and, as
necessary, a certified letter to the
ACA Liaison for the camp. At the same
time, reports of scores are sent to
the ACA local offices. Section
boards make final accreditation decisions
in September and October.
Official reports of scores are sent to
camps by the ACA local offices no later
than November 10. If you have marketing or brochure
deadlines and need results earlier, contact
your local office.

Thanks to ACA Visitors
Many, many thanks to the 1400+ ACA standards
visitors who volunteered their valuable
time to travel to camps to conduct pre-visits
and on-site accreditation visits. The
ACA accreditation system relies on the
willingness and expertise of its trained
volunteers who complete 900+ on-site visits
within a two-month period. No other
national accreditation program has such
dedicated volunteers!
ACA members interested in getting involved
as visitors should contact their ACA local office http://www.acacamps.org/about/offices.php for
information on eligibility and training
options.

Annual Statements of Compliance
Camps who are seeking or renewing ACA accreditation
have received numerous notices about
submitting their 2008 Statements of Compliance.
Submission of the Statement of Compliance
confirms their compliance with applicable
laws and codes and with ACA standards and
ethics. A camp cannot
be accredited without a current, signed
Statement of Compliance. At
this time, we are encouraging camps to
sign and submit the Statement
of Compliance electronically. Contact
the standards department with questions
or to request a paper copy, 800-428-2267,
ext. 314. The deadline
for camps to submit their 2008 Statement
of Compliance is September 30, 2008.
