The Leading Voice in Camp Health
For over four decades, ACH has been invested in creating healthy camp communities. ACH is a national member-driven organization resourcing three distinct communities at the heart of camp health. We lead innovative efforts, generate relevant resources, and design evidence-based research oriented programs to improve the provision of care in all summer learning experiences.
ACH initiatives within the MESH (+) arena work in synchrony, building upon the mental, emotional, social health framework, with practical implications for creating a safe environment for individuals and communities. Initiatives include CampWell, and MyView Digital Empathy with Tickit Health. Explore the additional MESH resources ACH provides to support healthy camp communities.
The Alliance for Camp Health (ACH) is proud to announce our “Fight the Bite” U.S. Tick Borne + Lyme Disease Initiative. With the generous support from SC Johnson, our initiative will extend the reach of Lyme Disease and tick prevention education for summer youth programs through research, educating for prevention of tick bites, and creating Tick Aware spaces.
Tickit Health Case Study: Camp Fire Accessibility in Action
As we continue to evolve and reimagine how we care for young people, Camp Fire’s “Accessibility in Action” report offers a powerful, real-world validation of why tools like the MyView Digital Empathy™ Screening Tool, developed by Tickit Health in partnership with the Alliance for Camp Health, are not just timely—but valuable.

The Time is Now
We must improve the provision of care for summer. Regardless of age, gender, or background, we believe every individual plays a role in offering care, being inclusive, and helping to create a space where all belong. We at ACH are committed to seeing this become a reality, one care team at a time.
Let me just take a minute to say thank you for all your work on behalf of camps during the past two years. It has felt nearly impossible to figure it all out at times and you and the team continue to be a guiding light.
