about us
Australian Camps Association

The ‘not-for-profit’ Australian Camps Association (ACA) is the national peak body for residential camps and outdoor activity providers. We strongly believe that participation in supported outdoor experiences through residential camps and led adventure activities leads to happier and healthier lives.

The ACA represents the interests of residential camp users, residential camp owners / operators and outdoor program providers. Our purpose is to bring these interests together by helping develop our member’s business strength together with their capacity to deliver excellent programs to people from all walks of life.

The ACA provides information, resources, services and training to more than 240 member camps and outdoor activity providers in the ACT, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Victoria.

The Australian Camps Association gratefully acknowledges the support of the Victorian Government. 

Help support people with disabilities enjoy the many benefits of outdoor experiences by donating to the People Outdoors Fund. All donations will be used to directly support participation.

The ACA acknowledges that wherever our members are situated across Australia,
Indigenous people are the Traditional Custodians of country. They have lived, walked and cared for the lands, waters, environment and wildlife for over 60,000 years.
