Annual Giving Fund
Invest in Camp, Invest in Children

Making a contribution to the American Camp Association’s Annual Fund safeguards the future of the camp experience for thousands of deserving children each year.

Through accreditation, leadership, education and promotion, the ACA endeavors to enrich the lives of children and prepare them to be the leaders of tomorrow.

We do a great deal with the 50 percent of camp fees that come to the national office, but there is so much more that can be done and that you want to see accomplished.

Your dollars keep the framework of the ACA strong so, like a proud parent, it can effectively represent the camps in the ACA family and spread the word about the crucial life experiences they have to offer children of every background.

Your belief, commitment, and continued giving to the American Camp Association ensure that our collective and powerful voice on behalf of the camp experience is heard by all.

Thank you for your support.
