ACA Accreditation means that the camp you are considering for your child cares enough to undergo a thorough (over 300 standards) review of its operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. American Camp Association collaborates with experts from The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth service agencies to assure that current practices at the camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes summers of growth and fun in an environment committed to safety.
ACA helps accredited camps provide:

	Healthy, developmentally-appropriate activities and learning experiences
	Discovery through experiential education
	Caring, competent role models
	Service to the community and the environment
	Opportunities, leadership, and personal growth

At Sierra Canyon Day Camp we are proud of our accomplishments on being: The ONLY camp in the North San Fernando Valley accredited by both the American Camp Association (ACA) and the Western Association of Independent Camps (WAIC). An accredited camp for 39 years.
