New this year! The American Camp Association (ACA) continues its signature research efforts into the business of camp operations. This Camp Sites, Facilities, and Programs information was gathered in the fall of 2007 in a survey of 1,350 camp owners and operators who were randomly selected based on stratified sampling to represent the almost 2,700 camps affiliated with the American Camp Association. A 52 percent response rate helps the reader understand: camp grounds, camp facilities, camp programs, camp sessions, camp staffing, and a special section that addresses camp environmental programs and practices.
Specific reports are available for day camps and residential camps and all reports available as one download here. |
