Feb. 22, 2022

The American Camp Association® (ACA) recently announced that The Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA Summer camps have received ACA-Accredited® Camp status for 2022.

"ACA Accreditation means that The Tampa Y submitted to a thorough (up to 290 standards) review of its operation by the American Camp Association (ACA) — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management — and complied with the highest standards in the industry," said Judith Bevan, National Standards Commission.

"Parents expect their children to attend accredited schools. They also deserve a camp experience that is reviewed and accredited by an expert, independent organization," Bevan said.

The Y Summer Camp offers children a day camp curriculum full of fun, educational activities. Activity specialists will lead campers through various experiences each day including swimming, science, high ropes, outdoor education, nature encounters, horseback riding, canoeing, visual arts and more!

Spots are filling fast at 16 locations across Hillsborough and East Pasco counties, including four sites for the Y’s First Tee - Tampa Bay program. Register today at https://www.tampaymca.org/letscamp
