About ACA

2009 ACA National Conference
February 17-20 — Orlando, FL

This year's theme, The Power of the Experience, explores both the meaning and the depth of our experience with children, youth, teens, and families. With the strength of our voices and the compelling story of the camp experience, we can make a powerful, societal impact. Mark your calendars now, and plan to join us in Orlando for four, education-packed days in the beautiful backdrop of Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.

Keynote  speakers include:

  • Ned Hallowell, MD, psychologist and author of CrazyBusy: Overbooked, Overstretched, and About to Snap
  • Linda Perlstein, writer for the Washington Post and author of two books, Not Much Just Chillin': The Hidden Lives of Middle Schoolers and Tested: One American School Struggles to Make the Grade.
  • Pat Williams, Senior Vice President of the Orlando Magic
  • Peg L. Smith, chief executive officer of the American Camp Association
