Our Purpose:
Our purpose is to define and influence the future of organized camping. We believe in people, integrity, professionalism, quality and excellence, human fulfillment, the value of the organized camping experience and having fun. We have an annual conference every November to educate and inspire our member Camp Owners and Directors.
Our Mission:
To share knowledge, nurture relationships, educate members, teach best practices, and by role modeling integrity and professional standards among our members.
The Western Association of Independent Camps (WAIC) is a group of independent day and resident camps in the Western United States. All WAIC camps are accredited through the American Camp Association, and therefore meet the camp industry's highest standards for safety, staffing, health, and programming.
Our camps vary in the activities offered and length of stay, but all WAIC camps maintain a commitment to offering the highest quality camp experiences available. To learn more about individual camp programs, choose the "Find a Camp" tab and click on the links to the individual camp's websites. If you are interested in working at a summer camp, choose the "Find a Job" tab.
Camps who are interested in joining WAIC and being part of the education, networking, and sharing that we are about are encouraged to visit "About WAIC" and learn about joining our group.
