On February 26, 2013, an Education Alliance Agreement was signed between the American Camp Association and the International Camping Fellowship.

The American Camp Association is a community of camp professionals who, for more than 100 years, have joined together to share our knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs. Just as our membership is diverse and our programs distinct, so are the children who come to us to participate in the camp experience.

Through what we teach, the opportunities we offer, and the example we set, children become part of a sharing community.

American Camp Association Offers Free 1-year Memberships to ICF Members!

The new Educational Alliance between the International Camping Fellowship and the American Camp Association (ACA) provides a free 1-year membership to individuals who have not previously been members.  Use this promotional code:  ICF-2013  The ACA-ICF Alliance enables international camps to be listed in the ACA search engine, Find-a-Camp, when the camp becomes an ACA member.
