Accreditation and the Statement of Compliance

By now, a legal representative for each ACA-accredited® camp should have signed and submitted the 2007 Statement of Compliance (SOC). Annual submission of the SOC confirms a camp’s compliance with applicable laws and codes and with ACA standards and ethics throughout the entire year and is a required part of the accreditation process.  Without the current signed SOC, ACA has the authority to remove accreditation. To verify that the SOC for your camp has been received, contact ACA at 800-428-2267, ext. 305. 

Accreditation applies to all camp programs and services offered under the same camp name throughout the year, except single-day events.

Was Your Camp Visited in 2007?

If your camp was visited this year, you should receive a letter from your local office with the official notice of your accreditation status no later than November 10. If you have not received a letter by this date, please contact your local office directly.

All ACA-accredited camps will be receiving their 2007 accreditation certificate in December.
