2009 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 – such as a "no nut policy") 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.
  • ACA Accreditation is about education – for the camp staff and parents!

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