The Alberta Camping Association is dedicated to promoting, organizing, and advancing camps in Alberta.

The ACA strives to increase public awareness of organized camping in Alberta because we believe that the camp experience enriches the lives of young and old alike. The ACA believes that camp builds engaged, capable citizens and leaders, and facilitates holistic, lifelong development.

Our Interim ED, Brad Halsey, just wrapped representing the ACA at the National Leadership Gathering, bringing together provincial camp bodies and representatives from across the country.

It was an inspiring time of meaningful conversation, sharing innovative ideas, and reconnecting with leaders nationwide.

A huge thank you to all the provincial representatives and leaders who made this gathering so collaborative and forward-focused. When we work together across provinces, our collective impact only grows!

Stay tuned as we bring these ideas and insights back to support camps right here in Alberta.

Join us next Monday, October 26 at 6:00 PM for an essential virtual session: "Neurodiversity at Camp: Better Camper Experiences, Better Staff Retention" featuring Kathleen Hilchey!

Is that camper a brat... or do they just not understand? Long sessions, crowded cabins, constant transitions, and unwritten rules can overwhelm neurodivergent campers, staff, and volunteers alike.

In this interactive session, you'll unpack real case studies and discover:
🧠 How ADHD & autism show up in a camp environment
🔍 How to tell the difference between "won't" and "can't"
💡 Low-cost changes to adapt your spaces & routines
🤝 Strategies to support neurodivergent leaders & foster inclusion
💬 Open discussion time to share your own challenges, strategies & wins!
