There are approximately 8000 camps in the U.S., & this is the only complete listing of the 2,000 camps which have earned American Camping Association accreditation by meeting over 300 standards that apply to health, safety, program quality & operating practices. The Guide, published annually, features special indexes that allow a parent to find a camp by activity, special need, special group or location. The American Camping Association has been setting standards for camps since 1935 & has been accrediting camps since 1965. It is the recognized voice of camps in the United States.

The main purpose of the ACA accreditation program is to educate camp owners and directors in the administration of key aspects of camp operation, particularly those related to program quality and the health and safety of campers and staff. The standards establish guidelines for implementing policies, procedures, and practices. Another purpose of ACA accreditation is to assist the public in selecting camps that meet industry-accepted and government-recognized standards.
