The Acorn Society Nurturing little acorns
into mighty oaks
Remember your first camp experience? Remember
laughing and singing camp songs at the
top of your lungs? Remember the fast friends
you made splashing around in the water
and galloping down the straightaway in
a head-to-head relay? Remember what it
was like just to be a kid?
You can help the American Camp Association
(ACA) preserve childhood for thousands
of campers each year by becoming a member
of The Acorn Society. Including ACA
in your estate planning and/or making outright
gifts to ACA or the Kruger Endowment
of the American Camping Foundation in excess
of $25,000 ensures the educational, spiritual,
physical, and social opportunities camp
offers will continue for generations to
come. Gifts over $25,000 should
be made within five calendar years.
Members of The Acorn Society are invited
to an annual gathering at the ACA national
conference and honored for their significant
financial commitment to the future of the
camp experience.
The Acorn Society's crest is a mighty
oak. Its vast branches symbolize the network
of devoted individuals it takes to make
camp a reality for so many deserving children.
Its strong trunk speaks to society members' strength
and leadership in character, compassion
and commitment — the same traits
the ACA strives to instill in every camper.
The Acorn Society is the essence of the
expression that "a little acorn can become a mighty
oak." Plant a seed and watch the
future of the camp experience flourish.
