ACA Camps Set the Standards

Prestige
Parents nationwide recognize the importance of ACA accreditation when choosing a camp for their child, and they expect you to reach far beyond the minimum state and local regulations. ACA-accreditation status is solid proof of a camp's accountability, credibility, and commitment.

Use key messages and scripts to keep parents tuned to the value of your accreditation status in every operational aspect of your camp from programming to staff training.
