New in 2016 — Medically Tailored Camp Programs TrackThe sessions in this track are open to all ACA conference attendees.
Campers living with serious and chronic illness and attending camp have the opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones, experience the wonders of camp, and thrive. Ensuring campers have outstanding experiences requires a level of training and understanding about the abilities of the child, caregiving required, and related programming and operational impacts. This new track, made possible through a gift from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, will address a range of issues, needs, and strategies for professionals working in medically tailored camps.
Executive Leadership ForumThis track of high-level breakout sessions is designed for seasoned professionals who have executive leadership responsibilities within their organizations. Sessions run throughout the conference and provide cutting-edge information on social enterprise, leadership, innovation, strategic planning, executing your strategy, board development, fund raising, emerging ideas in workforce development, finance, and managing organizational change. Sessions in this track are presented by experienced, knowledgeable experts who are passionate about the transformational power of the camp experience.
All-Conference Social Networking Event
Celebrating the Olympics On Thursday evening, after you’ve enjoyed Atlanta dining, plan to head back to the hotel for the not-to-be missed ALL CONFERENCE social event. Games, music, dancing, cash bars and FUN, FUN, FUN - with an Olympic theme to set the stage.
Celebrating Camp Moves Me’s successful year 2 will be a highlight as well. Don’t miss this evening of fun, competition, and celebration.
Special thanks to our sponsor, UltraCamp.

Anyone wanting to attend only the Exhibit Hall Grand Opening must purchase an event ticket at registration. If you want to have access to the exhibit hall on the second day, stop by the registration desk and request an Exhibit Hall Only name badge at no charge. It will be honored in the Exhibit Hall that day only, but not in the educational sessions or other functions.
