ACA New England needs YOU to join an amazing team of volunteers!  Join us for our next Accreditation Volunteer Course (formerly known as the Associate Visitors Course).

This course is an in-person training. Participants must attend all learning sessions over the timeframe to successfully become an accreditation volunteer. This course requires active participation and engagement.

ACA’s accreditation program is the only national peer review program of its kind for the camp industry. Being an ACA accreditation volunteer (visitor) provides you with the experience to build your network, polish your skills in observation and risk management, and develop mentoring opportunities for both you and the camps you work with. As much as you give to this experience, you’ll gain from new ideas, perspectives, and approaches to the mission-driven work of the camp industry.

To become an accreditation volunteer, please complete these steps:

1. Submit an Accreditation Volunteer Application (online) 
2. Register for this Accreditation Volunteer Course (formerly known as the Associate Visitors Course)

Once you are registered for the course, you'll be enrolled in the required online pre-course work. The online pre-course work includes the Accreditation Process Workshop so you are up to date. This online pre-work must be successfully completed in order to attend the Accreditation Volunteer Course. To become an accreditation volunteer, you must fully attend and participate in ALL parts of the training.

If this course date does not work for your schedule, when you complete the Accreditation Volunteer Application, you will have other live virtual and in-person course options to select from.

Additional steps:

• Review the ACA Associate Visitor/Visitor Service Description.
• Review and be ready to sign the Volunteer Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct.
• Be a current ACA individual member (contact us if you have questions about this. We also offer a discounted membership rate for visitors).

The registration Deadline is November 11th, 2026. Pre-registration is required for this course.

There is an online portion that must be completed prior to the in-person portion of this course. Pre-work must be completed by November 13, 2026.
