Custom Online Staff Training

Tue, 07/12/2022 - 16:42

Get your camp staff ready before they ever set foot on site. ACA's custom online staff training lets you build a fully branded, trackable training experience — drawn from our ever-growing library of camp-focused online courses and recorded webinars.

Why Build a Custom Staff Training?

Staff who arrive at camp already grounded in the basics means your in-person training time can focus on what matters most. With a custom ACA online staff training, you can:

  • Combine everything in one place — ACA courses, your own files, videos, and camp-specific materials
  • Reach staff before they arrive — build the "camp mindset" before orientation day
  • Track progress — monitor staff access and completion with built-in management tools
  • Make it yours — add your logo, branding, and custom content alongside ACA's curriculum
