Summer Trainings
Bring an outside speaker to help change up your staff training! Colette Marquardt, ACA Illinois CEO, is available to provide staff training support to ACA Illinois Accredited Camps, ACA Illinois Member Camps, and DFI Title XX Partner Agency Camps. There is no speaking fee to these camps and typically no additional costs to the camps. Learn more about Colette's experience here.
For camps not accredited or member camps of ACA Illinois, or part of the DFI Title XX Camping Services program, these trainings and others can be provided for a minimal fee to cover costs.
Popular Session Topics for summer trainings include:
All About ACA Accreditation: How to meet the standards, ways to support your camp's Accreditation, and why it matters to families, campers, and staff.
Get Ready for Your ACA Visit: How Camp Staff can support a Camp during the Visit Year & What to Expect
Why Camp Matters: How and why camp is essential for our community & world.
Risk Management: How to become a risk manager and keep the campers & yourself safe this summer.
How to Demonstrate the Value of Your Camp Staff Experience on Your Resume
Camp As a Career: The options, why, and the path to get there.
