The Chicago Zoological Society is accredited by the American Camp
Association (ACA), the only accreditation organization for camps in North
America. The Association is recognized for its standards for camp health,
safety, and programming. The organization partners with the American
Red Cross and the American Academy of Pediatrics to ensure that camp
practices are current and high quality. We believe in inclusion and welcome
campers of all abilities. Only 7 percent of ACA-accredited camps provide
an inclusive setting that allows participants with and without disabilities
to enjoy the experience together. We are proud to be one of them.
