The American Camp Association® (ACA) believes the organized
camp experience is a vital component in the development and
education of the whole child. ACA supports year-round educational
opportunities and actively supports the extension of organized
camp experiences to all children.
"We could do lots of creative
things in the summer, such as summer camps and enrichment
programs. The more time we have with students the better
they are going to do."
