3 Mandatory Standard Introduced in 2016 Number: HR.8.B (between current standards HR.8 and HR.9) Title: ONE ON ONE CAMPER/STAFF INTERACTION (Mandatory) HR.8.B.1: Does the camp provide training to all staff to minimize the potential of any staff member being in a one on one camper/staff situation when out of sight of others. AND/OR HR.8.B.2: Does the camp advise rental groups to provide training to all staff to minimize the potential of any rental group personnel being in a one on one camper/personnel situation when out of sight of others. CONTEXTUAL EDUCATION: Appropriate supervision and interaction between campers and staff are key to camper/staff safety. Policies and staff training should be provided to all camp staff (counselors, administrative, and support staff) to make them aware of the need to avoid situations where they might be in a one on one situation with a camper. This includes: Restroom and shower protocols The health care setting Special needs campers needing personal care assistance Desire/need for staff/camper 1:1 conversations Program design Methods to consider are: operating with rule of threes, being in auditory or visual range if a situation does require 1:1 interaction, and providing settings that are in visible sight of others yet not in the middle of it all. ACA resources include Spring 2014 CampLine Article ( 2014/supervision) and the recorded webinar Camper Supervision Under the Microscope: What Your Staff Are Staff Missing and What You Can Do About It. Compliance Demonstration: Written documentation: Training schedule which indicates when this training occurred Visitor Interview: Director description of what was covered during the training Visitor Observation: Groups of campers/staff as tour the camp and program MODES: All 1

4 Standards Changes Introduced in 2016 Visits NEW STANDARD HR.8.B ONE ON ONE CAMPER/STAFF INTERACTION (Mandatory) HR.8.B.1: Does the camp provide training to all staff to minimize the potential of any staff member being in a one on one camper/staff situation when out of sight of others. AND/OR HR.8.B.2: Does the camp advise rental groups to provide training to all staff to minimize the potential of any rental group personnel being in a one on one camper/personnel situation when out of sight of others. MISSING FOUR (4) OR MORE MANDATORY STANDARDS Any camp that misses four or more mandatory standards will be required to have a complete visit the following summer (even if the ICA is accepted). Why the change? The National Standards Commission feels that as camps are fully aware of all mandatory standards and the need for these standards to be continually met, this is an appropriate action to help maintain and strengthen the integrity of ACA accreditation. OTHER NSC CHANGES EFFECTIVE 2016 Effective as of 2016, when any change/revisions to standards are made (mandatory or not), the change/revision will become effective in the next season. In the past, only mandatory standards were effective immediately and all other changes/revisions were effective on the camp s next visit. As we move to a 5 year visit cycle, potentially waiting 5 years for a camp to come into compliance with any standards is too long. BE SURE YOU HAVE A CURRENT APG! LOOK AT PAGES: Page 95 HW.24 Health Screening for Resident Camp Staff Delete HW.24.1 B 3, the requirement for healthcare staff to collect staff medication. Page 126 HR.3 Hiring Policies Clarify to whom standard HR.3.3 applies, and add mandatory requirement for criminal background check for year round staff (every five years). Addition to Contextual Education. DNA PD.29.3 Does Not Apply (DNA) when climbing on a manufactured climbing walls that use an auto belay system (Effective immediately It is at the discretion of the camp should they use helmets on a wall with this type of belay system) Posted April 2015 PD 31.5 Does Not Apply (DNA) Ear protection for Air rifle and BB guns. 2

9 Camp Self Assessment Worksheet The Camp Self Assessment is a required review of written documentation for twenty pre identified standards. It must be completed prior to the start of staff training for the summer season and potentially as early as May 1. Your local office establishes this date. If a camp wishes to review additional written standards, that is very appropriate and recommended. During the review, the visitor will use a checklist to note if the documentation is seen and complete, needs additional work, or was not seen. A copy of this checklist is available on the Accreditation Information and Forms page of the ACA website. ( A camp self assessment review (CSA) prior to the day of the on site visit is an important element of the educational process of the standards program. The camp director has the choice to complete the review in person, electronically using the My Accreditation portal, via another electronic exchange of documentation, or via postal mail. Below are the twenty standards included in the required self assessment review. The purpose of the self assessment is to: Allow the Visitor to review, communicate with and educate the camp representative on the adequacy of the camp s paperwork BEFORE the on site visit and scoring. While the intent is for the response to the standard to be complete, the review provides the camp with the opportunity to ask questions and make needed corrections prior to the on site visit when the actual scoring of all standards will occur. Reduce the time needed to review written documentation during the on site visit, allowing more time for observation and discussion. Help verify that the camp is prepared for their on site visit. The following standards are included in the required camp self assessment. The written documentation requested in these standards is to be shared with your Visitors for their review. TR.5 Transportation Information for Parents OM.15 Rental Group Responsibilities TR.7 Accident Procedures HR.3 Hiring Policies TR.8 Safety Procedures HR.6 Job Descriptions/Information TR.15 Training for Drivers HR.7 Personnel Policies OM.1 Risk Management HR.8 Camper Supervision Ratios and Staff Age OM.4 Personal Property Policy HR.9 Supervision Ratio Exceptions General Ratios OM.8 Emergency Plan and Rehearsal HR.17 Behavior Management OM.10 Missing Person Procedure PD.1 Camp Goals and Outcomes Overall Goals OM.11 Emergency Communications PD.4 Program Eligibility OM.14 Rental Agreement PD.6 Activity Information and Permission 2016 American Camping Association, Inc. 7

10 Planning the Day of the Visit The Tour This worksheet can help you organize the tour of your facility and program areas during your on site ACA Visit. When to go to various areas depends on your camp s daily schedule. Use this page as a guide to help you plan an agenda for your volunteer visitors. You may also use the resources at visit. Best time for the visitors to arrive: Where to meet: Where visitors park: Do visitors need to bring lunch? Any other things visitors should know? (Dress code, nametags required, etc.) Kitchen/Dining Hall Visit with the food service director, observe some food service preparation or clean up, washing dishes, refrigeration units, etc. Health Center Meet the health care supervisor, ask questions about daily routines, and see health center. View logs, forms, medication storage, etc. Living Quarters Show visitors a sampling of different types, units, etc. Plan a time when you can avoid disturbing guests or cabin groups. Visitors do not tour residences of directors, caretakers, etc. Restrooms Show different types, including central washrooms or shower buildings, smaller units within camper cabins, etc. Vehicles Show a sampling of vehicles, check for emergency equipment, logs, etc. Transportation Pick up or Drop off areas. Show how traffic is controlled. Maintenance Area Show placement of power tools and hazardous materials; review blueprints or site maps if they are kept here. Pool/Lake/other Aquatic activities Ideally, visitors should see the aquatic activities taking place and have an opportunity to meet and visit with the aquatic supervisor. Show all aquatic areas including swimming, boating, etc. Specialized Activities Visitors will want to visit with a key person in these areas and see these activities in operation. If an activity only happens in the afternoon, it s fine to take a break from scoring to go back and observe. Overnights and trips 3 days, 2 nights or fewer Horseback riding Adventure/Challenge High and low ropes course elements, climbing walls (natural or constructed), rappelling, group initiatives, zip lines, etc. Target sports (i.e., riflery, archery) Bicycling Boarding or skating activities Shop/crafts/arts these are not always specialized activities, but they can be Go carts, ATVs Camp craft/outdoor skills fire building, outdoor cooking, etc. Other: Trip and Travel Trips of 3 nights or more. Consider showing visitors where trips depart from, allow them to interview a key person understanding it is difficult to actually see the group American Camping Association, Inc. 8

11 Standards Course Mechanics Worksheet Using the Accreditation Process Guide(APG) 1. There are eight sections in your APG, please list them by name: 2. Please answer the following questions with the instructor: HR.6 What is the standard number? What is the standard title? Who is required to score this standard? Is this standard mandatory? Is written documentation required? What kind of written documentation is required? Besides written documentation, how else is compliance demonstrated? Where is the definition in this standard for "essential functions"? PD.7 What is the standard number? What is the standard title? Is this standard mandatory? What user modes does this standard apply to? Is written documentation required? Can anyone DNA this standard? If yes who? Under Contextual Education, does it ask if each age group should have opportunities to learn about the natural world? By what method or methods can compliance be determined? 3. What are the four Modes of Operation? a. c. b. d. 4. In loco parentis is a legal term meaning: in the place of the parent. Landlord is the legal principle: Provider of a facility and basic services to groups. If you are serving in the role of in loco parentis, what modes of operation will your camp score? If your primary role is landlord, what modes of operation will your camp score? 2016 American Camping Association, Inc. 9

12 5. Mandatory standards are: Critical to the health and safely of campers, staff and participants therefore compliance is mandatory to earn accreditation. Camps must be in compliance with all applicable mandatory standards. When a camp misses a mandatory standard, the camp has days to come into compliance or risk losing or being denied accreditation. Sometimes of the standard is mandatory and sometimes only of the standard is mandatory. If you miss a mandatory standard, the visitor will fill out an form to document the missed standard and state what you need to do to come into compliance. 6. The Table of Standards is a quick reference guide to help you determine whether a standard is mandatory, requires written documentation, and/or is included in the self assessment. On what page in your APG 2012 is this found? Hint: Check out the Index! 7. Does this section apply to me? During lunch or a break, read the applicability statement in each section and determine whether your camp will or will not score this section. Feel free to discuss at your table or ask questions if you are unsure. SF Yes No TR Yes No HW Yes No OM Yes No PA Yes No HR Yes No PD Yes No PT Yes No American Camping Association, Inc.

13 Unique Scoring Situations Who s Responsible Staffed Public Facility Standards / Camps that Rent to Others Staffed Public Facility Standards What You Need to Know The key to making the decision about the necessity of scoring staffed public facility standards is for the camp director to answer the question, Do I have total control of how the activity is conducted and for supervision of the staff in this activity? If the camp does not have these controls, for purposes of scoring the standards, the camp is using a staffed public facility, even if the facility is not used by the general public or is managed by the camp s own sponsoring organization. Do you score the staffed public facility standards in the following situations? Yes or No 1. I take my campers to a horseback riding stable in a nearby town. My staff goes along to help the campers get on the horses. 2. I take my campers to a swimming pool run by my own organization. My staff does not lifeguard. 3. I take my campers canoeing on a nearby river, renting canoes from a river concessionaire. My staff leads the trip. 4. I take my campers to a neighboring camp to use their ropes course. My fellow camp director generously provides his staff to lead the program. 5. I take my campers to a state park to go swimming. There is a ranger and we pay a fee to use the park. My staff members serve as the lifeguards. Standards for Camps that Rent to Others Mode of Operation What You Need to Know The standards applicable to the Camps that Rent to Others mode of operation are scored when camps operate in the role of landlord. If a camp rents or leases facilities from another organization on which to run their own program, they will never score this mode. Do you score standards for Camps that Rent to Others mode in the following situations? Yes or No 1. I run my camp program at a rented ACA accredited camp facility. 2. I lease my camp to other organizations on weekends in the spring and fall. 3. I run weekend programs for my camper families in the fall. 4. Groups within my organization come to camp on weekends to do their own programs American Camping Association, Inc., (Revised Fall 2016) 11

14 Specialized Activities Worksheet Use the Accreditation Process Guide, Program Design Section 1. Turn to the introductory pages for Section PD and read the paragraphs that further define/explain specialized activities. List key phrases/guidelines a camp administrator needs to consider when determining if an activity is a specialized activity/program. 2. Explain how specialized activities may change from one visit year to another. 3. Use the Accreditation Process Guide PD.12 to answer the questions listed below: What is the title of this standard? Is there a time limit/expiration period associated with this standard? Does this standard require written documentation? What is the intent of Standard PD.12? Does PD.12 apply for your camp/organization? Applying PD.12 to Your Camp/Organization 1. List all of the specialized activities offered by your camp/organization. 2. Go to page 2 of your Camp Information Form and mark all activities offered by your camp/organization. Note: The activities you mark need to be addressed as you consider staff training, program implementation, and planning your standards visit. 3. List the types of written documentation you plan to collect to verify that your camp/organization is in compliance with PD American Camping Association, Inc. (Revised Fall 2016) 12

15 Mandatory Standards and Written Documentation For the sections assigned by your instructor, identify which standards are mandatory and which standards require written documentation. For each specific standard requiring written documentation, write what TYPE of documentation (e.g., materials shared with parents or guardians, certification cards) is required, and what other methods are used to assist in determining compliance (i.e., observation or interviews). Work as far as you can until the instructor calls time. HINT: Some standards may be mandatory and require written documentation.
