As well, through their Electronic Health Record (EHR), CampDoc provides instant access to vital camper and staff health information including allergies, medications, and immunization records. Programs can also track medication administration and record illnesses and injuries electronically.

CampDoc believes that every program serving minors on campus should work to identify and minimize areas of risk. Together, CampDoc and Camps on Campus provide programs with the resources and tools to improve health, safety, youth protection and risk management.

To Grow Camp's Impact, First We Have to Measure It

The Redwoods Group is proud to support ACA’s Research 360 efforts and the 5-year impact study exploring the academic, life-skills and career benefits that camp experiences bring. As a long-time partner to camps across the country, Redwoods understands that camp outcomes range from the creation of lasting memories to the cultivation of tomorrow’s leaders. We support ACA’s efforts to measure and quantify the impact of camp. Armed with empirical evidence, ACA and camps across the country will be able to share the important story of camp, so that more children will have the opportunity to enjoy a camp experience of their very own.

Gareth Hedges, President of Redwoods, explains why his company is coming onboard to support this work through a 5 year research partnership:

"Research 360 is an inspiring example of how camps can further build on the powerful work they already do, using research and analysis to create evidence-based strategies for improving operations, advocacy and fundraising. As for us, we're data geeks. Our entire business model is based on using data to better inform how youth-serving organizations like camps work to stay safe and create positive impact in their communities. Supporting Research 360 just feels like a natural fit."

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

As part of FEMA’s ongoing catastrophic planning efforts to expand national sheltering, feeding and evacuation capacity for up to 1.75 million disaster survivors, FEMA is developing agreements with private sector and voluntary organization partners to lease facilities and land during Presidentially declared disasters.

To meet this objective, FEMA would like to partner with ACA members that have camps with 50 or more rooms and/or open land with 100 acres or more on which to erect temporary soft-sided shelters for disaster survivors or responders. Through their relationship with the American Camp Association, FEMA is hoping to continue to strengthen collaboration among private sector, voluntary organization and government partners during disaster response.
