- Accreditation is a distinction. Only one in every four
camps seeks and earns it. To earn accreditation, our camp
complies with up to 300 health, safety, and program quality
standards. We have reviewed every facet of our operation.
- Accreditation pre-sorts your camp
options. It identifies those programs which offer a solid
foundation of health, safety, and program quality.
- This sign is solid proof of our professional integrity
and commitment to risk management. To earn it we have adopted
a disciplined management style involving critical thinking.
We regularly ask ourselves: What might go wrong? What preventative
procedures might we put in place? What training is required?
Should we redo procedural guidelines in this area?
- Accreditation isn't easy and it isn't cheap. We invest
in accreditation because the children we serve deserve
our best. It's a behind the scenes risk-management process
that assures us we are prepared for the uncertainties so
we can concentrate on the children.
- It isn't just camp directors who put together these standards.
The ACA standards program is the result of collaboration
and review by experts from many fields - child development,
aquatics, risk management, and health care professionals
to name a few.
- The camp experience is a vibrant,
live-action event. While a "good housekeeping" packaged-product
guarantee can't apply, accreditation does guarantee this
camp is established on a solid foundation of health and
safety standards developed specifically for camps and
trusted by parents for 50 years.
- Through active involvement in the ACA, Camp Nubar stays
current with the needs of campers and their families.
