American Camp Association Accredited

YMCA Camp Tulequoia has earned the important distinction of being an American Camp Association Accredited Camp. The ACA accreditation process is comprehensive and thorough. Only 25% of day and resident camps across the nation attain ACA-accredited status.

To earn accreditation, Camp Tulequoia complies with up to 300 standards encompassing facilities, health, safety, program quality, personnel and administration. We have rigorously reviewed every facet of our operation and comply at all levels.

ACA Accreditation is the best evidence parents have of a camp’s commitment to a safe and nurturing environment for their children. Accreditation assures parents that camp practices have been measured against national standards and go beyond the State’s basic licensing requirements. Because accreditation is voluntary, parents can know that Camp Tulequoia is committed to best practices.

Accreditation isn’t easy and it isn't cheap. We invest in accreditation because the children and families we serve deserve our best. It’s a behind the scenes risk-management process that assures us we are prepared for the uncertainties so we can concentrate on the campers.

The camp experience is a vibrant, live-action event. While a “good housekeeping” packaged-product guarantee can’t apply, accreditation does guarantee Camp Tulequoia is established on a solid foundation of health and safety standards developed specifically for camps and trusted by parents for 50 years.

We are very proud of our accomplishments as a camp and we hope you can see the benefits of our hard work to become ACA-accredited. If you have any questions about our status or the accreditation process,please let us know. We’re happy to explain it to you.
