The Accredited-Camp Sign:
A Symbol of Excellence
Tips for Sign Display
Repetition aids understanding. Create
the impression that you value what is
represented by this sign, because you
do! Displaying one or two signs in your
camp isn’t enough to communicate
just how valuable accreditation is to
your clientele.
Place
signs where they will be repeatedly seen:
All entrance points
The first door parents walk in
Entrance to the director’s
office
High-risk areas to assure parents
and to show them you are complying
with specific standards: challenge
course, stable, waterfront, health
center, etc.
Show your pride. Prominently place
a framed picture of your camp’s
executive, board chair, or major benefactor
proudly holding the ACA-accreditation
certificate and your sign.
In May 2008, ACA began sending a new Accreditation-Camp
sign to all camps that were newly accredited
or re-accredited in 2007. This process
will continue for camps visited in 2008
and 2009 until all camps have received
their "new" signs.
The NEW
sign is 12" high x 18" long
and is made of a more durable metal. The
logo has not changed, and use of the “older” plastic
sign is still acceptable!
Visit CampParents.org
for more specialized talking points for
marketing the value of ACA accreditation
and camp to parents. And, link to this family-dedicated
Web site from your camp’s Web site
– keep the positive message of the
camp experience circulating!
