Seeking accreditation shows our commitment to quality. We specialize in not being a country club, but in being a traditional, fun camp. We work hard to keep our fees reasonable so the camping experience can be available to most families. Statistics show that children in camps have fewer accidents than children at home. But going to camp is definitely not risk-free.
Bad things can happen any time mere mortals are involved.
Chatuga's ACA accreditation reflects our commitment to safety. We also emphasize freedom from the peer pressures of drinking, drugs, dating, etc. while campers are at Chatuga. Chatuga has had more campers than that, and it was just too crowded. Camp is more fun when it's smaller and more personalized. What's best for the campers and staff is our concern.
