Camp & Adventure Accreditation
The Camp and Adventure Accreditation program is designed to ensure that residential camps, outdoor experiences, and adventure activities can be conducted in a manner where the safety of participants and staff is assured. This means the buildings are appropriate and that proper activity equipment is provided and used in a safe manner.
This program ensures there are clear procedures for supervising campers, administering bookings, and proper planning has been done to manage emergencies should they arise.
The variety of residential camps and outdoor experiences ensures that different groups – large or small, children or adult, school, special interest, community – can enjoy diverse experiences. The program recognises this diversity and ensures that regardless of the type of experience your safety has been considered as paramount.
Get Camp and Adventure Activity accredited and enhance your reputation as a trusted provider of camp and adventure experiences.
