Your Road Map to Excellence Standards change to keep pace with camps and society New standards were adopted by the Council of Delegates at our 1998 national conference and will go into effect beginning with visits in the summer of 1999. The major change in these standards is that accreditation standards will now affect all the camp-related programs and services of camp organizations throughout the entire year. This single set of requirements created an unreasonable burden for camps in the courts based on requirements never intended to apply when the camp was not in charge of providing services to children.
Accreditation is a service to the public.
Therefore, we have established standards that are appropriate for the way camps operate at different times of year.
