Maybe as someone who already works at a camp you think you can learn everything you need to know about the camp profession and working with kids on the job.

Consider this:

For $35 an ACA Student membership links you with the most extensive resources and knowledgeable people in the camp industry. It keeps you plugged-in, informed . . . in short, a better, more effective camp professional. And isn’t that the kind of employee your camp director is most likely to reward with a promotion or raise next season?

Any “How to write a resume book” will tell you how important it is to include membership in a professional organization on your resume. Why? Because it shows a prospective employer that you’re the kind of person who takes his or her job seriously. It shows that you understand that a professional organization gives you the networking and informational resources you need to do the best job you can.

And as the world’s leading camp professional organization, ACA is just the kind of affiliation you need on your resume. Along with the skills it helps you get and develop, your ACA membership pays dividends, especially as you begin to use your camp experience as a “selling point” on your college or graduate school application or resume for that “first job” of your career.

Let ACA membership turn your summer camp job into the first step on your career path.

See the many benefits ACA membership can get you.
