American Camp Association

The health and safety of campers, volunteers, and staff is our top priority. Lake Poinsett Camp, Wesley Acres Camp, and Storm Mountain Center are all accredited through the American Camp Association (ACA), the only nationwide accrediting organization for all types of organized camps. To earn accreditation, camps must comply with hundreds of health, safety, and program quality standards. Only one in five camps nationwide achieves this distinction. You may find more information about American Camp Association accreditation at the ACA website and the document, The Value of Accreditation. Dakotas United Methodist Camps staff regularly review every facet of camp programs and operations to ensure a safe and quality camp experience for all participants.
