We keep the tradition of great camps and outdoor education centres alive.
OCA helps Ontario camps and outdoor education centres deliver safe experiences.
The Ontario Camps Association (OCA) is a voluntary, non-profit membership organization that works to make Ontario a premiere destination for camp and outdoor education. We aren’t the government – we’re an association of camp professionals committed to maintaining the highest standard of camp! Keeping the Ontario camp tradition alive is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why our Members adhere to more than 600 Health and Safety Standards designed to ensure the safety of campers and staff.
Today, 400+ Member camps and outdoor education centres serving more than 357,000 participants have adopted our standards.
Look for the OCA Accredited Member logo on a camp or outdoor education centre’s promotional material. That logo tells you that a facility continuously meets industry safety standards and provides participants with quality camp and outdoor education centre experiences.
Whether you’re looking for a safe camp or outdoor education centre for your participant or you’re a camp or outdoor education centre leader looking to invest in your facility’s future, OCA has resources to help you.
