Camp Echo Lake is an accredited member of the American Camp Association (ACA). The ACA prescribes nearly 300 standards that a camp must maintain in order to be accredited. The standards run the entire gamut of a camp’s operation, from how staff are hired and trained to proper health center practices and procedures—from appropriate safety equipment at the ropes course to how food is stored and prepared; and everything in between.  Camp Echo Lake is integrally involved with ACA in order to maintain a high level of camp operation, in accordance with the ACA standards. We are visited every three summers by the ACA in order to become re-accredited.
