36 GATEWAYS | ADVENTURES The Chicago Zoological Society is accredited by the American Camp Association,
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.
