ACA to Survey Camps about Budget and Finance Areas

The Camp Budget and Finance Survey is on its way to your mailbox. A random sample of half of all accredited camps will receive a mailed survey focused primarily on budget-finance data. If you receive one, please take the opportunity to fill it out and return it. These data are extremely helpful in providing benchmarks and specific profiles (i.e., camp type, sections, camp sponsorship, and clientele) of the revenue and expenditure side of the camp business. Your information is critical to accurate trends and indicators so please complete the survey! To learn more about ACA's business operations research, please visit www.acacamps.org/research.
