Press Release Addresses the Value of Camp - the American Camping Association® - Brief Article

Camping Magazine, Nov-Dec, 2001

In October, ACA's public awareness efforts focused on an extensive press release mailing to inform the media and general public about the value of the camp experience. ACA presents strong messages in the release about the power of the camp community to provide a place of safety, tolerance, acceptance, and peace in uncertain times.

ACA answers the question, "Why camp now?" in light of world events. The release was distributed to top weeklies, publications, and broadcasters in major media markets across the country and is featured online at www.ACAcamps.org/media/.> ACA members are encouraged to spread the word in their local press about the advantages of camp communities. Your local section office received a copy of this mailing. For more information regarding this press release, contact your local section office.
