The ACA Board of Directors met in October 2017 to determine the accreditation status of each of its camps in the State of Illinois. Based on the scores calculated by the ACA, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to classify Improv Playhouse Performing Arts Camps as accredited with the highest achievable scores. Based in Libertyville, Highland Park and Round Lake Beach, Improv Playhouse Camps focus on enrichment in Acting, Improvisation, Modeling, Film Making and Musical Theater. Sample categories from Human Resources, Operational Management to Program Design and Activities is assessed by ACA Directors and Administrators. ACA accredits over 2,400 camps. ACA-Accredited® camps meet up to 300 standards for health, safety, and program quality (Safety Tips/Accreditation). As a leading authority in youth development, ACA works to preserve, promote, and improve the camp experience. The association is committed to helping its members and all camps provide:
- Camp communities committed to a safe, nurturing environment
- Caring, competent adult role models
- Healthy, developmentally appropriate experiences
- Service to the community and the natural world
- Opportunities for leadership and personal growth
- Discovery, experiential education, and learning opportunities
- Excellence and continuous self-improvement
Improv Playhouse has developed an arts program rubric based on the ACA standards. The American Camp Association is a community of camp professionals who, for over 100 years, have joined together to share its knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs. Just as its membership is diverse and programs distinct, so are the children who come to Improv Playhouse camps to participate in the camp experience. Through what Improv Playhouse teaches, the opportunities it offers, and the example its staff sets, children become part of a sharing community.
