The Education Committee of ACA, Michigan cordially invites you to the 2010 Leadership Summit.

Including sessions on:

- Getting Funded: Grant writing and Fund Development in Camping
- Telling your story: PR, Marketing, and Social Media (and how to do it on a shoestring)
And much more! Representatives from the State of Michigan will be on hand to answer questions about new licensing updates. An optional session will end the day on updates to the ACA Accreditation Standards. This update course is about 45 minutes and a required class for all camps being visited for accreditation this summer (highly recommended for all ACA accredited camps even if you are not getting visited) There is no cost for this class but registration is required.
Join us in Denver as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the American Camp Association. The 2010 National Conference will include a wide array of educational programs, keynote addresses, social networking opportunities, an expansive exhibit hall, and a few surprises that will mark our anniversary.
The Mid States Camping Conference welcomes you to join us in St. Charles, IL for our 18th annual gathering. Mid States is a fabulous opportunity to connect with camping professionals, train your staff, shop for deals, and fill your "bag of tricks". The 2010 theme is "Learn Together, Grow Together...and we can not only Survive, but Thrive! We will provide thought provoking presenters and wonderful opportunities to connect with your peers!
The Mid States Camping Conference is a truly unique conference. It is organized by a volunteer Steering Committee made-up of members from the following ACA Sections: Great Rivers, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Northland, Ohio, St. Louis and Wisconsin. All of the committee members are camping professionals dedicated to providing conference attendees with important and inspiring educational opportunities. From director to first year counselors, there is something for everyone with over 90+ Educational Sessions. Additionally, we will provide time and meeting space for your staff to come together during the conference so that you can get a "jump" on your staff training. In conjunction with the conference, we will once again host the Leadership Institute (LI). LI sessions take place prior to the Mid States Conference and offer full day workshops and certifications from industry leaders.
