American Camping Association

The American Camp Association (formerly known as the American Camping Association) is a community of camp professionals who, for nearly 100 years, have joined together to share our knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs We contribute to the lives of the children and adults who participate in our programs and to their families and our communities, and, in turn, we encourage them to contribute to those who are part of their lives and to the world in which they live Through positive child development and partnering with parents, we encourage children to value their uniqueness and to understand and appreciate their part in the larger community Just as our membership is diverse and our programs distinct, so are the children who come to us to participate in the camp experience
