Camp Dickenson is accredited by the American Camp Association.  ACA accreditation means that Camp Dickenson submitted to a thorough review of its operation (of up to 300 standards - from staff qualifications and training to emergency management.) The American Camp Association collaborates with experts from American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that the current practices at the camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camp Dickenson and ACA form a partnership that promotes summers of growth and fun in an environment committed to safety. ​
