ACA ACCREDITATION AND SAFETY/
HEALTH REGULATIONS
The American Camping Association (ACA) accreditation
standards require that camp facilities undergo a thorough
review process by outside camping professionals every five
years. For our ACA accredited camps, these reviews last
occurred in 2017 (Camp Bonnie Brae) and 2018 (Camp Green
Eyrie and Camp Lewis Perkins).
The American Camp Association is the world’s premier
organization dedicated to promoting the safety and quality
of camp programs. Camp Bonnie Brae, Camp Green Eyrie, and Camp Lewis Perkins are proud to
be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) and meet its high standards for program
design and activities, site and food service, transportation, health and wellness, operation
management, and human resources. Despite accreditation status, all GSCWM camps maintain
