| Camp builds self-esteem, confidence, leadership skills and re-introduces the outdoors. Camp changes a child’s life - we need your help to give the benefits of camp low-income children in your community! In 2008, campers came from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. At camp these kids were able to be themselves.
Help us expand our reach. Many stayed home, watched television and played video games all summer. We need your help to reach those who missed out!

ACA Southern California/Hawaii partners with local day and resident camps to send 100 low income children and youth to camp. In the inaugural year of the Everyone Goes to Camp Campership program ACA Southern California/Hawaii reached the goal of providing a camp experience to youth. We polled parents and children on opinions of their camp experience.
