ACA will never ask you to purchase our attendee list through a third party. It has come to our attention that emails are circulating regarding purchasing an attendee list for this year’s ACA National Conference—this is a SCAM and is in no way affiliated with the American Camp Association. They do not have any attendee information.

Emails coming from these addresses are a SCAM:
If you received an email from this address, please disregard it and delete it immediately. If you don't see a name on this list and received an email to purchase the ACA conference attendee list, please share the email with Kim Fitzgerald, [email protected], so we can add them to this list. The only authorized attendee list is available through ACA directly.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, large conferences such as the American Camp Association can be a target for scam messages. If you receive any suspicious emails or calls, please report them to [email protected]. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
American Camp Association Conference Management Team
