The national peak body for camps and associated providers

As Australia's leading advocate for camps, the Australian Camps Association (ACA) bridges the gap between groups seeking transformative experiences and our trusted network of camp and outdoor activity providers nationwide.

Whether you're planning a school expedition, youth group adventure, corporate retreat, or community program, we'll connect you with providers who share our commitment to safety, quality, and meaningful outdoor engagement. Our members don't just offer activities, they create environments where participants build confidence, develop resilience, forge lasting friendships, and discover capabilities they never knew they had.

We champion the profound impact that well-designed camps and led outdoor experiences have on mental health, personal growth, and community connection. From urban students experiencing their first bushwalk to individuals with disabilities conquering new challenges, we believe every Australian deserves access to the transformative power of the outdoors.

The difference: When you work with an ACA member, you're choosing providers who meet rigorous standards, prioritise participant safety, and are passionate about creating experiences that participants will remember for a lifetime.
