 | Accreditation Standards for Camp Programs and Services
American Camping Association standards are the recommended and legally accepted standards for operating camps. Your program is always measured against these procedures. Stay informed! Although you can operate a good camp without the ACA standards, why would you "reinvent the wheel"? ACA spends time researching and gathering suggestions and standards from many other nationally recognized professional organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Red Cross. ACA standards help you use the best practices. Standards cover:
- Transportation: driver requirements, vehicle checks, onsite traffic
- Health and Wellness: qualifications for staff, record keeping
- Human Resources: training, ratios, procedures
- Program Activities: special standards for high-risk activities
- And much more
