In ACA's new membership system, everyone has access to the same great resources and learning opportunities at the same individual membership rate of $200. And, if you qualify for a Visitor, Retiree, or Student rate, you receive a further discount and still receive the same exceptional benefits as individual members enjoy.

The membership discounted rates are as follows:

Visitors	$95
Retirees	$60
Student	$35 (As an added benefit, exclusively for students, national conference registration is FREE!)

ACA will grandfather all members who are currently (effective 2/1/08) receiving a discount as a "volunteer" into the new system at the Visitors discounted rate of $95.

If you're curious about your renewal date or have specific questions about how the change will impact your dues or services, be sure to contact Rachel at membership@ACAcamps.org.

For more info about membership, call ACA at 800-428 CAMP (2267) or e-mail Membership.
