American Camp Association Summer Camp

Did you know Rockbrook is accredited by the American Camp Association? It's true! In fact, we were one of the area's first camps to meet the ACA accreditation standards more than 15 years ago. Why is that important? Well, the ACA helps all of its accredited camps provide (quoting the ACA website):
    * Camp communities committed to a safe, nurturing environment * Caring, competent adult role models * Healthy, developmentally-appropriate experiences * Service to the community and the natural world * Opportunities for leadership and personal growth * Discovery, experiential education, and learning opportunities * Excellence and continuous self-improvement
Essentially the ACA, "the American Camp Association (formerly known as the American Camping Association), is a community of camp professionals who, for nearly 100 years, have joined together to share knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs." With this history and level of professionalism, Rockbrook is proud to be a member of the ACA community. For parents intersted in how this matters when selecting a camp, visit the ACA website.
