ACA Comments on the New Regulations
From the US Forest Service Regarding
Public Lands Use Permits
The US Forest Service
(USFS) has developed new directives regarding
outfitting and guiding special use permits
for public lands. The USFS has
provided a public comment period (until
January 17, 2008), and ACA took the opportunity
to review the directives and provide
comment. We
support the proposal as it incorporates
many of the goals set forth in our Public
Policy Position Statement on Public Lands.
We encourage all members to also provide
comment and have placed key messages
and links to the relevant documents on
our Web site at: www.ACAcamps.org/publicpolicy/publiclands.php. Special
thanks to Jane Sanborn and Steve Shively
of the Public Policy Committee for leading
our efforts in this area!

Got Campshots?
A photo kiosk will be displayed during
the 2008 ACA National Conference, Nashville,
Tennessee, in the Communicamp area. Here, you will be able to drop off CDs of
your camp's photos. ACA is collecting historical and contemporary photos
from all ACA-Accredited® camps for use in Camping Magazine, promotional materials
for ACA's 100th Anniversary celebration and the 150th Anniversary of the
camp experience, and other ACA marketing and communications print and electronic
publications.
In order for any photos to be considered
for publication, the camp, camp location,
and photographer if applicable must be identified. An approximate date must be
indicated on all historical photos. For current photos, include a statement indicating
your camp has model releases on file for all identifiable subjects in the photo.
Submit the ACA online photo submission form so
that we have your information on file and place your photos in the kiosk. Be
sure to label the photo with your name and camp name.
Remember to bring your camp's photos
to conference!

Join ACA's
Media Resource Team!
Do you speak passionately about the value
of camp in the lives of children and youth?
Does your camp have a unique program to
share? Do you offer specialty activities
that are cutting-edge? Are you willing
to help ACA be the voice of the camp experience?
ACA gets hundreds of media requests each
year, and we look forward to expanding
our media resource list to include more
camps and more voices who can share with
the media the depth, breadth, and importance
of the camp experience. With your
help, ACA can influence print and broadcast
stories that appear throughout the country.
Please join Harriet Lowe, director of
communications,
in Nashville at the ACA National Conference
on Tuesday, February 12, from 1:00-2:30
p.m. (room assignment TBA) for a mini-media
training session and the opportunity to
sign up as a member of ACA's Media
Resource Team. If you can't attend,
but want to participate—or if you
have any questions—please contact
Public
Relations or call 765-349-3317.
