Both Camp Courage and Courage North are accredited camps of the American Camp Association. We are often asked the question "what does it mean when you say that you are accredited by the American Camp Association?"
The ACA-accreditation program has a fifty-year history and is continually evaluated and updated to reflect current best practice in camps. ACA collaborates with experts from many fields such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to be sure required practices are current and sound. ACA standards are revised based on research in the public, legal, youth development, and camp arenas.
Courage Center recognizes that ACA camps set the standard for the industry. For us, it is a regular, independent health and safety audit of camp operations. For parents, the ACA-accredited camp sign symbolizes excellence and our accountability and ongoing commitment to the children and adults we serve.
