DID YOU KNOW THAT YMCA CAMP IS ACA ACCREDITED? ACA Accreditation means that your child’s summer camp cares enough to undergo a thorough peer review of its operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. American Camp Association collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to ensure that current practices at your child’s camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation.
