What does ACA Accreditation mean?

"ACA Accreditation means that your child’s camp cares enough to undergo a thorough (up to 300 standards) peer review of its operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. 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 your child’s camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes growth and fun in an environment committed to safety."

I have been actively involved with Pyles Camp since 1987 when I was invited to visit the Camp.  I hiked into the outback with two other Board members to spend time with the young campers. Once I experienced this “Miracle in the Sierras”, I was hooked for life.  This has become the principle charity that I support, contributing both financially as well as committing time and resources.  So what is so special about Pyles Boys Camp?
