“Equine activities are some of the most beloved experiences children and youth have at camp, and CHA and ACA understand the importance of best practices for these developmental activities. To that end, ACA and CHA have created resources to help reinforce the safety, skill-development, and fun of quality youth program equine activities,” said Peg Smith, ACA’s chief executive officer.

ACA’s Professional Development Center (PDC) connects camp and youth professionals to quality lifelong learning experiences, including face-to-face conferences and events, live and recorded webinars, and a variety of online courses. Certificates of completion and continuing education credits are available for all courses and webinars.
