With the success of Covid-19 safety measures for ACA 2020 summer programs, middle and high school students can feel at ease enjoying 2021 activities, athletics, and adventures.
"We understand that there may be questions and concerns regarding 2021 ACA summer programs during these uncertain times. We will continue to offer information and guidance to our ACA families as the wellbeing, safety, and health of our students and staff is always our number one priority," said ACA Founder, Jason Lubar. "The cornerstone of our organization for almost 30 years has been safety, and it is our number one priority and concern. We are continuing to closely monitor all updates regarding COVID-19 and are in touch with the World Health Organization and American Camp Association, as well as, following the CDC and US State Department guidelines and updates."
Safety measures put into place for upcoming summer programs in Vermont, Maryland, SoCal, Charleston, Barcelona, and Florence consist of the following below:
Program Locations: All program locations will follow all of the local, state, federal and campus guidelines regarding COVID-19 policies during the time of the program. In addition, we are accredited by the American Camp Association and are also following the best practices, directives, and guidelines provided by American Camp Association. Throughout each program, guidelines may change at which time ACA will communicate and update parents and students on any and all updates or changes during the program.
Medical Facilities: All programs and campuses are steps away from top emergency and medical facilities.

Students or staff with signs of fever will be removed temporarily from the program population and placed into alternate sleeping rooms and monitored.
Student-to-Staff Ratio: Our student-to-staff ratio is no less than 10:1 which puts ACA at the very safest ratios in the industry.
