ACA 2008 National Conference—Call for Presentations Site Opens Mid May


Staff Training and Resources

Looking for some staff training resources to round out your training plans? Check out the presenter handouts from the ACA 2007 National Conference. The handouts are useful resources. Many handouts include templates you can easily incorporate, and others will spark ideas to help complement the training you have planned.  Additional staff training tip sheets are also available.

We're pleased to announce the availability of many new titles and training DVDs from the online Bookstore for use this summer.  The second edition of the popular Camp is for the Camper: A Counselor's Guide to Youth Development, by Connie Coutellier, is now available. With the purchase of three or more copies, you'll receive unlimited access to the online course by the same name for use with your counselors. The online course provides an excellent pre-camp training tool that is further complimented by group discussion when the counselors arrive at camp.

A plethora of new staff training resources are now available, including new DVD's from well-loved author and clinical social worker, Bob Ditter. Check out the bookstore for many other exciting new titles including the By the Expert Series books featuring staff training, leadership development, staffing and retention, site and facilities, and more.
