The camps hosted by Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma are accredited by the American Camp Association. This means that they voluntarily allow its Day and Resident Camping practices to be compared and evaluated with up to 300 standards established by camping professionals. Courts of law and government regulators recognize ACA Standards as valid standards in the camping industry. At least once every three years, an outside team of trained professionals observes camps in session to verify compliance with standards for health, safety, and program quality. Accreditation assures parents that camp practices are comparable with national standards and go a step beyond many state and federal laws. Only 30 percent of an estimated 850 Day and Resident Camps seek this accreditation.
Resident Camp Staff Members for ACA accredited camps are carefully selected and attend approximately two-weeks of training prior to the summer camp season. All staff meets the age and skill certification standards required by Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). Work history and personal references are checked on each employee. Drug screening and criminal background checks are conducted prior to employment, as well as random drug screenings throughout the summer.
