ACA ACCREDITATION AND SAFETY/ HEALTH REGULATIONS toggle arrow

The American Camp Association, or ACA, is the only accrediting body for recreational camps in the United States. ACA’s accreditation standards focus on health, safety, and risk management, and are used as benchmarks by government entities. ACA accreditation provides public evidence of a camp’s commitment to the well-being of campers and staff.

Camp Bonnie Brae, Camp Green Eyrie, and Camp Lewis Perkins are fully accredited ACA Camps. GSCWM submits annual reports to ACA for review and each camp receives an on-site evaluation from ACA representatives every three years, with our most recent visits happening during the summer of 2023. In addition to maintaining accreditation status, GSCWM staff utilize ACA trainings and research to develop exciting camp programs, maintain up-to-date staffing policies, and uphold industry best practices for participant health & safety. Although Camp Laurel Wood has not gone through the ACA accreditation process, our camp staff maintain the same ACA standards.

In addition to the safety guidelines outlined by ACA and GSUSA, all GSCWM camps comply with Massachusetts Department of Public Health regulations and are licensed by the local board of health.

CAMPERS WITH INDIVIDUAL ACCOMMODATIONS toggle arrow

GSCWM wants all girls to have the opportunity for a great camp experience. Campers who need individual accommodations can have a positive camp experience when these needs are disclosed to GSCWM camp staff prior to camp. If your camper requires accommodations for medical, physical, emotional, developmental, or social needs, please contact the GSCWM Program Manager, Jessica Gonzalez, at jgonzalez@gscwm.org or by phone at 413-584-2602 to discuss whether or not GSCWM camps can support your camper’s specific needs before registering for camp.
