This comprehensive guide helps camp administrators prepare for camp accreditation and site approval visits by the American Camping Association (ACA). The introductory sections outline the purpose and administration of the standards program and provide definitions of camping terms. Standards are organized under one section for camp accreditation and another for site approval. Specific standards and their interpretation are listed one-per-page with a section for the camp director's evaluation of camp compliance and a section for indicating evidence of compliance. For camp accreditation, standards are listed under the headings of site, administration, personnel, program, and health care. Additional standards are included for aquatic, tripping, horseback riding, and travel programs. For site approval, standards are listed under the heading of basic, administration, personnel, health care, and aquatic. The appendix contains numerous sample forms needed for camp administration, e.g., personnel policies, comprehensive plan outline, statement of goals and objectives for camper development, employment contract, architectural barriers checklist, and health records. The appendix also provides ACA publications related to standards, a cross reference for current and prior ACA standards, and a directory of organizations offering support for camp administration.
