The American Camp Association: Advocating for Camps in Good Times and Bad

When you support ACA, you help us to: * Help camps keep kids safe through stringent health, safety and risk management strategies, following the guidelines of national and local health officials. * Reach out to the most underserved kids by communicating the importance and safety of camp. * Explore opportunities to offer virtual camping experiences. Starting in March, knowing that our state and local regulators faced an unparalleled community health crisis and likely wouldn't have time to consider how camps might operate safely through this pandemic, ACA, with the support of YMCA of the USA and other funding partners, commissioned the convening of an expert panel of doctors and public health experts to produce the Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc. Field Guide. ACA will work to provide resources for camps to partner with school districts to support children and families when they can't be in school.
