Our mission is to increase participation in high quality camps and adventure, environmental and cultural activities.

The Australian Camps Association (ACA) is recognised as the national peak body for residential camps and outdoor activity providers in Australia. We believe that through participating in the temporary community we call 'camp', youth and adult citizens of Australia will enhance their lives individually and collectively. Membership is open to individuals and organisations and offers a range of benefits that will assist your organisation to provide high quality outdoor recreation experiences. ACA member fees are used to benefit all its members.

By becoming a member of the ACA, you will be opening up your business to tens of thousands of potential schools and community groups throughout Australia to book and use your facilities as the ACA is one of the first places these organisations look to when searching for a camp or outdoor activity provider.
