Camp Kinawind voluntarily submitted to a thorough (up to 300 standards) review of its operation by the American Camp Association (ACA) — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. The American Camp Association collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that current practices at the camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. BORM camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes summers of growth and fun in an environment committed to safety.
ACA helps all credited camps provide:
 |
Healthy, developmentally-appropriate
activities and learning experiences |
|
Discovery through experiential education |
|
Caring, competent role models |
|
Service to the community and the
environment |
|
Opportunities for leadership and personal growth |
ACA is the only independent accrediting organization reviewing camp operations in the country. Its nationally recognized standards program focuses primarily on the program quality, health and safety aspects of a camps operation.
