The American Camp Association (ACA) is a community of camp professionals who, for more than 100 years, have joined together to share our knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs. ACA is the only independent accrediting organization reviewing camp operations in the country. ACA's nationally recognized standards focus primarily on the health, safety, and risk management aspects of a camp's operation. ACA's Accreditation Program establishes guidelines for needed policies, procedures, and practices to keep campers safe and healthy.
