Exhibitors & Sponsors
Business representatives must register as exhibitors or sponsors to attend the event. Registering as an attendee is not an option for vendors or companies or people who want to attend the conference to sell to or network with summer camps for the purpose of building your business. Review exhibit hall rates and reserve your booth.
Consultants
Consultants may not self-promote at the conference and must register under the consultant rate unless they are a confirmed speaker at the conference.
The following is not available online:
- Student Registration
- Speaker Registration
- Daily Registration
To register as any of the three above, please use the downloadable paper form, available at www.ACAcamps.org/conference/registration.
The member discount is based on each person's individual membership status, not your camp. If you believe you are an individual member and see non-member prices on the following pages, you are either not logged into your member account or you do not have a current ACA membership. Please STOP and log into your individual member account or become an individual member. If you need assistance, STOP and contact 800-428-2267 or membership@ACAcamps.org to bring your membership current or receive help logging in to your member account. Do not complete the registration before getting assistance, as your credit card will be charged the full amount shown on the screen.
If registering for both the ACA conference and a kindred event, you'll start the registration process by choosing the appropriate ACA registration type. You will then have the option of adding the appropriate kindred event to your ACA registration in the 'Options' portion of the process.
If you are only registering for a kindred event, you would choose the appropriate 'PRECONFERENCE ONLY' registration type.
NOTE: Additional groups are holding kindred and pre-conference events at the conference but are managing their own registrations. For more information and to register, visit ACAcamps.org/conference/kindred-events and follow the appropriate link to their registration site(s).
CANCELLATION POLICY: There is a $40 fee for all cancellations postmarked BEFORE 01/16/2026 and a $200 fee for all cancellations postmarked AFTER 01/16/2026. No-shows are not refundable.
